Why Social Studies is Important

(Originally posted to Mom on a Narrow Path blog on Weebly, now deleted.)

This second PowerPoint Show was actually the first one I started working on the other day, and as such it's cumbersome. A lot of text, and for one of the slides, the sheer volume of text isn't meant to be read, but just seen as an overwhelming list of choices. There's not as many cool pics, and there's way too much text, but social studies as a whole is so vast.

It still irritates me that in our daily lives, people think it's a stupid subject for our kids to learn. And look what that public has done to our political landscape by choosing the elected officials they did! If we don't understand even the smallest portion of social studies disciplines, THIS is what we are left with. Lack of education is getting the American Public railroaded hard.

So it's not my best work, but it's something.

School Excitement? Yeah, right.

Still trying to come up with whatever I can to get him invested in his own education. Here's another try.
