I hope my teaching will help my kids become better students, but more importantly, good citizens of the world. If they feel that social studies is the subject where they can explore topics of their interest and learn in ways that appeal to them
they may continue to pursue this knowledge after school and later in life. I want them to realize that social studies is the study of life and the subject where math, language arts and science have relevance for them. Here is where they put their skills into action - to find a job, do their taxes, decide which politicians best fit for their beliefs, etc.
Social studies is the most important subject we teach. It is the reason we have public schools - to create citizens of value.
