Now that's a matter of opinion isn't it.....I mean as a teacher you feel that you should be neutral in these things. I'm pretty sure there are other teachers out there who feel it is their duty to instill national pride in their pupils.....

I guess this depends on where a person lives.....over here for instance, still many people are illiterate. National pride is probably one of the last things they'll teach their kids. So I feel it is vital that schools step in. Or at least don't start banning patriotic songs.
