In response to the Paul Cuffee school attending the Occupy Providence

For a Field Trip this is a great idea. It gives the students the opportunity to view history as it is happening and to see people using their legal rights to protest for change. This is exactly the kind of thing children should see for social studies. In my opinion the children should have been a little older in order to understand what they are seeing, since these are second graders and not fifth or sixth, it makes a difference with a more educated and developed mind to understand this piece of history.
