In Social Studies today students read excerpts from real-life stories of children, in India and Thailand, sold into labor to pay off their parents' debts. Students defined captive, ransom, advocate, and redemption. We talked about the poverty that would cause parents to fall into such a horrible trap. We acknowledged how deeply sad it is when children are forced to work, and in such terrible conditions.
On Friday we will examine a Jewish text about freeing captives.
