  Case: Culture and Content
How does a Social Studies work with students that may be offended by the state content standards.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Because the state standards must be taught it is important for parents and students to understand the curriculum and that the teacher is just an "ambassador" of information. For example, the inclusion of religion is often so that students can understand the culture better. The teacher should always make sure students know that the teacher is not trying to change anyone's beliefs but help them to be world citizens and more culturally sensitive.

Comments: As teachers, we are simply presenting the information that is given to us. We don't necessarily have any control over the content because we must teach and have students meet standards set by the state.

Comments: Teaching them that this information is not meant to change their beliefs, but instead make them more culturally aware, will help them understand the reasoning for teaching and allows them to have an open mind.
