Children are going to witness or experience violence at some point or ask questions about it. They will probably see some at school. I think it depends when and how you introduce it. For example, there is a heavy focus on refugees in western schools and media, but at some point a child is eventually going to have to ask what refugees are running from. (Torture and violence.) It's hard to avoid discussing violence in the context of history, or even when bullying comes up.


You’re not claiming that most refugees are running from torture are you?

Most are economic refugees running TOWARDS a better economic outcome than is available in their home country.


Economic migrants are not refugees, except if they are fleeing drought or famine.


the EU thinks otherwise


Then Dubai is full of European and Australian refugees.
