• W264379552 abstract "Retirement is paradoxical. I don't miss seemingly endless meetings, but I do miss meeting with the students I advised and setting up relevant and interesting professional development courses for teachers. I miss talking with my colleagues on a daily basis, but don't miss traveling throughout the state to publicize and recruit for courses. I love being able to read more, but what I've been reading lately both frightens and infuriates me. My reading list recently has included World is Flat by Thomas Friedman, 1491 by Charles Mann, and, most recently, Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed, by Jared Diamond. Diamond, the Pulitzer Prize winner for Guns, Germs and Steel presents a five-point framework that explains the collapse of societies as large as the Roman Empire and as small as Easter Island. In most cases a major element in the collapse is environmental damage. Other factors include climate change, hostile neighbors, friendly trade partners, and the society's response to its environmental problems. parallels between many collapsed societies and some issues Friedman describes confronting U.S. society and global civilization are frightening. My copy of Time magazine arrived a few days ago-the one with the special report on global warming headlined: Be Very Worried. Soon after, I read Sam Dillon's March 26, 2006, New York Times story describing how No Child Left Behind (NCLB) is causing schools throughout the nation to dramatically reduce the number of curriculum hours for science, art, music, and, of course, and social studies. Dillon quotes historian David McCullough telling a Senate Committee that history is being put on the back burner or taken off the stove all together in many or most schools, in favor of math and reading. As a recent NEA Today says: More Teaching to the Test, Less Teaching for Understanding and If It's Not on the Test, Kiss It Good-Bye. Not only the NCLB act, but state and local standards--combined with highstakes standardized testing--are sucking the soul from the heart of the social studies: citizenship education. That's why I and nearly all of our colleagues became social studies educators, to do what is articulated in the NCSS mission statement: studies educators teach students the content knowledge, intellectual skills, and civic values necessary for fulfilling the duties of citizenship in a participatory democracy. I loved being a high school history, government, and sociology teacher. I taught from 1962--1973 in a suburban Chicago school--a wonderful period to be a social studies teacher. We had an excellent social studies department and an innovative superintendent and principal. Our department was featured in a front-page Sunday New York Times article on April 30, 1972, titled The Social Studies: A Revolution Is On. New Approach is Questioning, Skeptical-Students Examine Various Cultures. During those years, the civil rights movement made great strides; the Vietnam War grew from a few advisors to a conflict that split the nation; the feminist movement gained strength; eighteen- year-olds became voters; and young people were told, Don't trust anyone over 30. We had team teaching, and my teammate and I had our senior government students come to the cafeteria on election night, 1968. We ordered in pizzas and milkshakes, and watched the election results on television. students had studied the issues and candidates in major congressional races and had made predictions about the outcome. It was a close presidential election, and when Nixon finally beat Humphrey, we went to sleep in our sleeping bags; in the morning we took showers in the gym and greeted the other students and teachers when they arrived. Teachers can't do that today. We don't have time to discuss issues related to climate change, the end of the oil-based economy, the latest immigration controversy, or what we ought to do about the Iraq War and the current U. …" @default.
