With many of the provisions of the No Child Left Behind Act focusing on reading and math skills leading to a “teach to the test”mentality, history has been getting short shrift in schools these days. Already,in the past few decades,the study of history has been shuffled into the shelter of social studies making it now one of a myriad of social sciences studied in one small period each day.In my state,public school social studies classes often have upwards of 40 students/class which makes learning very difficult.The study of history does not seem to hold a place of importance any more.This is sad to me because I see the study of history as very important in creating knowledgeable and engaged citizens for our nation.By teaching us to analyse the social,political,and economic threads of the past, the study of history gives us the skills to analyse those threads in the present.
