[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That’s Ok guys. At GdS you don’t learn civics or Us history in middle school. Instead you go camping for 3 days and draft a new constitution and ridicule the founding fathers and whole country for being unenlightened for todays times. Don’t bother with history or context of what they were dealing with. [/quote]
Unfortunately for you, the GDS curriculum is easy to Google:

"Fifth grade social studies concentrates on American History with particular emphasis on freedom and justice. The course covers the events leading up to the American Revolution, as well as civics, slavery, the abolition movement, the Civil War, and the American Civil Rights Movement. Students explore the triumph of the human spirit in moments of adversity and injustice throughout history. Through primary sources, guest speakers, film/videos, weekly magazines, and literature, students  examine these issues. Readings, discussions, projects, oral and written reports, simulations, guest speakers, and on-site explorations enable students to become familiar with and experience the historical significance of this region. Teachers and librarians help reinforce library and research skills. Geography is integrated with the lessons in history, literature, and world events. At the conclusion of each unit, evaluations, activities, and projects allow students to demonstrate knowledge and discuss the historical concepts associated with the topic."[/quote]

thanks for confirming their revisionalist approach to teaching history. [/quote]
