The Fischbowl: Should We Be Teaching This in "Social Studies?"

@etalbert - Thanks for the Aussie "history" lesson. It's good to learn that we're all thinking about these issues.

@barbara - I have been working on my mind reading skills, thanks for noticing. I predict that right now you're wondering if I'm going to answer your reading list question. I'm not, but simply because I need to think about it some more. Because it's fresh in my mind, I think Here Comes Everybody would be on that list, as well as several of our favorite bloggers.

Looking forward to that hug.

@justread - Thanks for the link - looks interesting, and I'll pass along to some of our Language Arts teachers. I definitely agree that this discussion doesn't belong just in Social Studies classes, it cuts across departmental lines. But, given the disconnected and subject-specific approach that typifies many of our current high schools, "social" studies seems (to me) to be the discipline where it most fits as a topic of academic study.
