im a high school graduate from a public school, who enjoyed civics, economics and history classes id like to say that i do agree with the fact that kids learn how to work together and have a well understood group civic mentality, but that doesnt really tell kids about goverment and polices and laws as much as teach us a sort of lord of the flies kind of way of lifestlye.and kids have slowly stopped caring about maintaining the laws and basicly every thing the u.s. constituion is. although i do think the us constition sould be severly looked over it is still fundementaly sound, and i think the past 50 years should be focused on more in school, although we've progessed so rapidly in the past 50 years teaching children about what has been acomplished does ad a strong sense of confusion. were dealing with a strong rift in change from the start of the industrial age were much of civic thoughts had not changed and now its kind of like decades have turned into centuries as far as change in "progessive america". in big picture sense with other countrys competeing in growth we have all turned into a bunch of whos betters, kind of teaching are kids that mentality, theres nothing wrong with pushing yourself to be better but with out proper teaching of civics and in a sense respect for all. its no wonder why our kids have these issues, caring about whats going on and there only way of peicing it all together is looking for them selves. and thats why every kid who i know really cares feels connected but so alone when it comes time to talking about it
