Something that struck me from this class was the quote that Dr. Stohr and Dr. Bland said, “Social Studies is meant to be a slow process.” When thinking about history and social studies, it would make sense that it would be a slow process; Students are learning about centuries of history across several different locations, time zones, and cultures. It should be a slow process! However, teachers speed through all of the information. Students are not given the opportunity to spend a whole class period on the Boston Tea Party or the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Instead the knowledge students receive about the Montgomery Bus Boycott is a sentence or two in their textbooks and that is that. Students need to be given more time to process, ask questions, and see multiple different perspectives.
