"There's a saying we have down in the sewer..........:
When the tides of life turn against you, and the current upsets your
boat..........
Don't waste those tears on what might have been; Just lay on your back and
float."
-Art Carney as Ed Norton
Social Studies - Department Philosophy
The purpose of social studies education is to prepare students to understand and accept the role that responsible citizens play in a democratic society. ~Students must be armed with the necessary skills, knowledge, values, and motivation to define their role and be able to act on it in a constructive manner. ~Achieving this purpose requires that students understand the diversity and changing nature of society and the many national and international issues presently confronting all global citizens.
