This research paper: 3 pages in length. Robert W. Howard's article entitled "The Shrinking of Social Studies: As Standards-Based Reform Gains Ground, Social Studies is Getting Squeezed" takes a bold stand on a fast growing concern: Will this critical foundation of education ever regain its much-valued status amidst the changing climate of academia? Clearly, standards-based teaching has instituted an entirely new - and unmistakably imbalanced - method for instructing and evaluating students whereby they must rise to a certain collective level of comprehension if they ever expect to get through school. This all-or-nothing approach to education has virtually paralyzed certain student populations that do not have the same academic benefits as others, ultimately leaving many casualties in its wake, not the least of which includes what is included in the curriculum and how it is taught. Social studies - a broadly-scoped category Howard (2003) identifies as involving virtually every aspect of daily life - is quickly becoming a most unfortunate victim. No additional sources cited.
