I hated social studies - except the lone quarter that I learned about India. (Each quarter, we had a different teacher teaching a different part of the world.) This teacher made it interesting, taught us about the culture, how people lived - the part that makes it worth while learning, not just boring, dry, dates and places and wars. The kids all thought he was an "easy" teacher (meaning easy A's) but I saw that he really was just a GOOD teacher, who made the material stick well in all types of brains. I would be willing to be all those "mediocre" students who did will in his class, actually learned the material.</p>formerhserSun, 02 Aug 2009 19:15:28 -0000
