I just thought of something. Why the hell do they call it Social Studies until you get into High School, and then call it History from there on out? This is how it is in the USA at least. Why the hell not just call it History for all school years?

 

Social Studies = Geography + History + Some RE.

I went to an American primary elementary school in Texas and they used the combined subject to sideline Geography (I could name more U.S. states than anyone else in my class despite the fact they were American and I was Foreign.) and teach about the Alamo over and over for three years. And how the "Indians" deserved to be killed. And probably some Founding Fathers. No world history. No proper Geography. Just The Alamo and Davy Crockett's Last Stand. I'm glad I missed American high school...
