when was the last year that Civics & American history were taught in US Public schools?
any teachers out there that could pin this down?
***********************************8
My final year of teaching was 2019-2020. During those last 15 years of my career, I can vouch that the social studies teachers at those two schools actually taught Civics and American History. One Soc.St. assignment in particular that I recall was students were required to memorize, recite, and write The Preamble to the Constitution.
Heck, I even incorporated some of their material into my lessons - that’s why the students would say, “but you’re supposed to be teaching math; why do you tell us stuff about English, Social Studies, Science, etc. (I even made a powerpoint about why we recite The Pledge of Allegiance and the meaning behind each part. I shared that presentation with all the teachers at our school and presented it to my homeroom students at the beginning of each year.)
God bless you, lyby for being such a positive influence on your students & associates
wish we could clone you. need more teachers like you today
