Summary/Abstract: In recent years, politicians, parents, educators, and psychologists have extensively discussed the topic of the education of children. Changes in education pertain to varying degrees to children’s daily school experiences, and the issue of the education of children is particularly important to consider as cultures change. Providing school age children with the proper tools and skills allows them effectively and constructively participate in society and civic life. Patriotic education specifically teaches children how a united national consciousness can exist in a multicultural society. Patriotism also entails preserving and expressing one’s culture and the beauty of one’s native language.
