ABSTRACT
The school standards and accountability movement forced the reader to change dramatically the way the people made professional decisions within classrooms. For example, Louisiana’s social studies standards for seventh grade indicate that students should “develop an understanding of the structure and purposes of government, the foundations of the American democratic system, and the role of the United States in the world while learning about the rights and responsibilities of citizenship”. The Supreme Court’s role seemed most muddy in their minds. After examining the graphs, Foster thoughtfully underscored the impact of what he had learned. Foster’s comments captured own feelings about traditional methods of integrating the curriculum.
