The Heartbeat Cf America It started long ago with prehistoric man at the beginning of civilization. These words could be heard in a world history class, one of the many social studies courses offered. Teacher, Mr. Bob Rubidoux stated, My students are great, I enjoy helping and instructing them in World Historyf, In U.S. History, the studies got back to colonization in the United States to retrace man's life to the present. The study of the mind and behavior of human beings was studied in psychology. This course penetrates the mind through its studies. The students interested in their rights, the laws, and court cases took the Legal Awareness class. Michelle Caney explained, I now understand how the law applies to us. I appreciate law and can see how it relates in everyday life. A required course, Government, emphasized the political systems and the principles our founding fathers based the Constitution on. Economics explained supply and demand, the principals of production, and how consumers fit into the picture. Mike Zilligen said, The Government- Economics course allowed me to understand the basic structure of the government and about the people it effects. In American Civics, students learned what the government is made up of and how it is run. Todd Sycks remarked, I feel that if American Civics is taught enthusiastically and the teacher brings in current events with the assignments, it can be a challenging and rewarding subject to fellow American citizens. It teaches the process of the government and about human rights. A newly offered course was European History. In its first year there were only three students enrolled. Mrs. JamielGestwicki felt that it would become much more popular. According to Greg Catron, social studies courses are what will lead our lives. He explained, Social Studies helps me understand events in the world and it shapes the way that we will live. It will give a better understanding for what the future holds for tomorrow's families.
