"Too many people equate social studies to what they remember from
their school days—no matter how long it has been since they were in
school. We need to communicate that social studies is changing to meet the
challenges of today’s world. It is not enough for students to memorize
dates or locations on a map. Today’s social studies provides students
with the knowledge, critical thinking skills and experiences that will allow
them to grow into effective citizens."
(National Council for the
Social Studies Web page 2008)
