17. In Michigan the Social Studies portion of the state MEAP test

covers all of these things from 5th grade on. Its a hard test, however, and not that many kids test proficient. Teachers have a devil of a time teaching information to kids nowadays that doesn't involve bling. Social Studies used to be supported in schools with things like SS bee's, plays, recitation contests and the like. Around Martin Luther King day there are usually school wide activities that speak to the SS issues but there's no mistaking that we are lapsing in this area of education.
