Ask HN: As a teacher, how do I help my students make sense of terrorism?

Tonight on ABC and NBC evening news, there was a video clip of a French dad explaining his son about the Paris attack. I thought Dad did terrific job. The video was on home page few minutes ago when I checked.

Thank you so much for this :)

Well, I would say the first step is to not think of them as kids, but as you. What would have put it into context for you? That's what to say.

Yes. I think it is important to come in terms with such things ourselves and then move ahead. Thanks for reminding me that.

Maintain and convey positive outlook on life. That would be exactly opposite to what terrorists would want you to do.

Make a difference!

Yep! It is extremely crucial to be positive in the face of tragedy. I think this is where I will start from. Thanks
