We had "Social Studies" and they did a pretty decent job (for the late 50's) in trying to show how/why wars started, the history of the world as it related to religions/world affairs/ competition for space & resources, and actually addressed racial problems in the South & the history of slavery/Emancipation, which was/is absolutely astounding, considering there were maybe 2 black kids in the entire town! They also gave us a good understanding of our government and how it works, and the thinking of our country's founders when they wrote the Constitutioon and Bill of Rights, something I can Clearly see has not been done for decades!

Always worthwhile. My kids and I listened to morning edition on NPR while going to school; the afternoon or evening jaunt home was whomever held the front seat that day. I say evenings because my kids, when young, loved the after hours computer room and I often coached and later they all played sports and did plays.
