In the Race
Now, here, you see, it takes all the blogging I can do to keep in the same place.
If I want to get somewhere else, I must blog twice as fast as that!

"Life During Wartime" in the Classroom

"Richard Zeitlin, Director of the State Veterans Museum, says school students today have a poor understanding of American History.""Teaching American History … we've got to come up with a basic civic understanding of what we all have – what the citizens of the United States – have collectively experienced, that's what history is, so that we can think as a people."
The three-year, $940,000 project will connect historians and veterans with more than 150 history teachers from central Wisconsin and the Madison area, beginning in July.
While unique in many ways, "Life During Wartime" will pay special attention to the American experience during war, at home and abroad, from the Civil War to the present. It will also draw from the expertise of Wisconsin veterans and the resources of the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs in bringing this experience to life.

I think this is a great idea and students will most likely be very receptive. I'm just finding that most grants or programs are either in the Madison area or for MPS and not the suburbs. Why is it Franklin can't seem to be included in a program like this?
