Elementary School

This unit follows two themes: How do we raise & educate children in the modern world? How did we react to 9/11? What were the impacts of the 2008 Economic Crash? Often those two themes overlap, just as key events in history have always shaped how we raise our offspring. This unit will look at how they were brought up, and how that differed from their parents and those around the world (past and present). It will also take time to look at the changes in the educational systems over time, as now their cohort is entering the school systems.
