So today my friend Ed from grad school sends me a text. It said that he is grading the 8th grade social studies test and the essay is on slavery. 1 kid wrote that the movie West Side Story was about Rosa Parks and onother kid wrote about Harriet Tubman being the first women to fly around the entire earth!!!! Its so funny yet so so sad!!!!

My SS Methods teacher once told me about a regents were a kid wrote that Harriet Tubman saved the slaves and then went on to do the same for the jews in Nazi Germany. Impressive for a woman of 125.
haha I used to teach 8th grade SS and sure don't remember that being on the curriculum. . I must have done a bad job!!

That's beyond sad. I'm going to guess those kids parents aren't taking any sort of interest in their education.
Edit to add that they should watch America The Story Of Us!! It's amazing and SO informative.... and FYI teachers... you get a free copy of it... so I would DEF order that!! It's from the history channel.

I mention this series ALL THE TIME!!! I swear I feel like i mention it to someone at least daily!! I'm SHOCKED that more people didn't tune in either. it was REALLY good. If I were a teacher I'd DEF get a copy and I'd DEF use it too!!!
