My kids are very involved in the election. They are showing (relatively early for their age) signs of maturity, decision-making and voter education that is unprecedented for most middle school students.
They are pretty educated about the issues going on right now and each candidate's position on the issues.
Now, maybe it's because I'm strongly liberal and so are they, but I'll bet that conservatives would have a soft spot in their heart for my students and their participation in the election process.
Was I this educated (or, quite honestly, interested?) about politics in 8th grade? Not at all.
