| Abstract | Exploring what schools actually do leading up to ANZAC Day. Almost all schools commemorate Anzac Day with a service and wreath laying. This fact is contrary to Tudge's assertions that students are being taught to 'hate' their country. ANZAC History is a space in where students are taught important skills, including how to consider evidence to reach reasoned decisions. Such skills, practiced in the context of war, are vital for upskilling students' media literacy, preparing them for making decisions about contemporary conflicts. By understanding what is happening in Australian classrooms this Anzac Day readers will be reassured that their children's teachers are skilled professionals who can balance national significance with critical thinking. |
