To: An H-Net List for Teaching Social Studies in Secondary Schools <H-HIGH-S@H-NET.MSU.EDU> Subject: Re: FW: Flipping the US History class As long at schools are judged on test results administrators will be driven to take any means to justify the end. The sad part is that after three years schools will have its averages level off or fall according to the research. Interestingly, my students have had the best social studies scores in the state and the school, despite the fact the school has seven subcategories, and no one showed any interest. The reason: it was social studies. Alan Haskvitz National Teachers Hall of Fame National and International Social Studies Teacher of the Year Suzanne Middle School Walnut, CA http://www.reacheverychild.com " Their schools stop giving them math classes after 9th grade because they don't want to have students with lower averages. So instead of creating a class that teaches remedial math, they stop giving them math classes."
