[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And they do learn a lot of "substance,". The 5th and 6th grace social studies curriculum covers American history pretty comprehensively. And the earlier years now use a lot of non-fiction in the reading classes as a way of getting more "content" into the curriculum--for example, the second graders are reading biographies of famous Americans then presenting to the class. [/quote] American history is the one thing taught in MD elementary schools. Topics they don't teach (that I remember from my childhood in a different state) include: - prehistoric anything -- dinosaurs, "cavemen" - Ancient Greece, (Greek myths), - Ancient Rome, - Ancient Egypt (the pyramids, process of mummification) - The middle ages, (knights, serfs and feudal system) - The Renaissance[/quote]
