[quote=Anonymous]SOLs become important to the student in 8th grade. Then they have to pass English to graduate. There are several SOLs that a student needs to take and pass to graduate from HS. 4th grade is state history in many states, they will get to WWI and WWII and more when they study US History in 6 and 7th grade. When I grew up in Massachusetts, it was the same way. It was pilgrims, pilgrims, pilgrims. Here is it Jamestown Jamestown Jamestown. There it was Lexington and Concord, here it is Williamsburg and Yorktown. The Civil War was a minor event in MA, here it is huge. I think our children are lucky to be here when they study US history. My children have gone on field trips to Mount Vernon, Williamsburg, Yorktown, Jamestown, Gettysburg, Pamplin Park (Siege of Petersburg), Capitol Hill...all without requiring a hotel stay. [/quote]
