But to teach genealogy in schools for younger students is not always so easy. A teacher who has tried tells us the following:

"I was once seduced into teaching a four session introduction to genealogy for a group of very bright 10 and 11 year old children. What absolute chaos! One asignment was to ask each parent for the full names of each set of grandparents. One parent refused to let her child call or write her father. Another had to call a father in another country. One kid reported his mother would not tell him who his father was! Several reported 3 grandmothers and four grandfathers".

So, if you are a teacher and want to start with some genealogy in your class, you might need to know a bit about your students, otherwise you might end up as the teacher above.
