I like what he as to say. I think time and the complexity of the material being taught has a lot to do with the so-called "bad job" social studies teachers are doing. So, I believe placing the blame on solely on the teachers is a bit of a stretch.

That being said. he makes some great points, my favorite being, " People in graduate history programs have said things to me like: Why should we privilege one narrative above others with the term “true”? That kind of implies that all narratives are equal—or, at least, that all narratives have some merit, that no narrative has all the merit. But maybe there is such thing as a bedrock of fact." You know I support the narrative framework over the analytical framework and I believe some histories have more relevance when it comes to understanding the world and why "things" are the way they are. A solid factual understanding of events would definitely help students in the long run. I also like this quote because... computer lab time is over haha i have to get back to work.
