As Bubba and me, we had our morning walk, I met a girl from the neighborhood. Since I do not, she had not seen for a while, I stopped to talk with her.

She held a notebook and I asked why. She explained this was the last day of school summer and was waiting for her bus.

I was confused. School had ended only a few weeks ago, how it Could it be the last day of the Summer School? She explained at the school was only five days. This confuses me more. I asked how someone could learn enough in five days, an appropriate topic to learn as it is now about to all and failed. She knew.

I asked what was the subject of her performance and she said, social studies, which focus on American history. OK, so what you have learned about American history in five days? She said nothing. Our teacher gives us a piece of paper with questions and answer page. We look at the page and write the answer.

I asked if there were at least read the book. She could not because they could not carry books with them.

The girl in the 9th class had heard of revolutionary war and civil war. She had heard of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln. She had no idea what the Constitution has been or what he said. It had no idea our government is divided into three equal parts. I asked him what were the executive branch, Congress and the power Judicial our government. She had no idea what I was talking about. They heard the Bill of Rights, but what it is or what she said she could not answer.

I can understand, not to learn, Peter Minuet bought Manhattan Island for $ 24 of jewelry. I can understand, not the Roger Williams was learning the limits of Rhode Iceland. understand, to some extent I'm not learning "common sense" by Thomas Paine or the writings of John Locke, in writing, because both today and as if the terrorists can be arrested, they wrote, even though our Declaration of Independence is based in part on those writings. She had heard of the declaration of independence, but was not sure what it was.

I spoke with a friend who lives in another part of the country and mentioned the conversation with her. She asked his boys to adolescence on the story and it did not really learn. In their history of the community is not a compulsory subject to completion of high school.

This is a quote from my friend, if she asked one of them, if Republicans and Democrats knew ... He said: "There were 37% more crimes committed while Democrats Republicans. What the Republicans were the rich and the Democrats have been poor. He said that the Democrats voted for welfare to do not have to work and that the Republicans voted for what they are richer. He said that the Democrats were Goofy, that people like Michael Moore and people like Ronald Reagan Republicans. "This is what he has taught at the school.

We learn the history, because history has a way of repeating itself. We learn from mistakes that were made so they do not return. Sun ignore history deprive our younger generations the wisdom of our ancestors.

I do not know who made the program taught in our schools. I understand the social interaction is important for later in life. I do not teach our children to think for themselves, or deprive them of the lessons learned from the past, will all a generation of people who watch a Hilton or Lohan PL as roll models. If so, I am very sorry for the generations that follow.
