Chapter 7
Life as Curriculum: Science and Social Studies
page 181
When
I was in high school in a suburb of Chicago from 1962-
1966, I assumed that what I was being required
to learn to graduate and become an “educated” person was the standard and
complete body of knowledge for all high schools across the U.S., that anyone
with a high school diploma would know the same things that I knew.
I’ve found out since that my assumption was incorrect.
I’ve asked my friends
(who were in high school during the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s in both the United
States and Canada) and my husband (who was in high school in the 60’s in
Louisville, KY) about their high school educations. What they learned
didn’t coincide with what I’d learned. I expected that there would
be some difference, but the differences were much greater than I expected.
These differences tell me that what I had been led to believe as being
absolutely essential to know wasn’t necessarily so. These differences
helped me to see that an educated person is defined by the cultural values
of time and place.
