McDougal Littell Current Events

If you’ve read any of those college entrance surveys that are floating around the internet, you realize how few students turned out in schools today understand what’s going on in the world.  One of the many reasons people homeschool is that we feel we can give our children a more well-rounded education.  It’s imperative to understand what goes on in our communities, states, and in our country.  It is no less important for our children to understand these things because they will eventually be making the decisions that shape their environments and those of future generations.

McDougal Littell has a great current events website that is written for middle to high school level children.  It explains the news in succinct terms, gives a glimpse at past events that have shaped our current environments, and will give our students the knowledge they need to shape the world of their future.

Head on over to check it out.  It’s all current events all the time and could certainly enhance social studies for all of your middle to high school students.
