Depends on world or U.S.! I'm one of the rare social teachers that likes economics best and government next. Lol, then geography, psychology and sociology, then history. Haha. I love WWI and the Civil War, also women's rights movement!

I teach in Minnesota! Most schools do that too, in 12th grade do first semester government and second economics, or vice versa. We allow the kids to take it junior or senior year.

I love World History... especially Ancient Greece and Rome. I could spend all year on those!

Post-war US through present day... so many connections and my students usually love the raw footage.

Is anyone interested in taking over the lease for a top floor 3 bed 2 bath, 1500 SQ ft apartment in a newly built complex in Plaza Midwood? The lease runs through Sept 2023. It's one of the nicest complexes in the city, has close proximity to Uptown, and has excellent amenities (e.g. CrossFit style gym, two pools, dog park, on site complimentary cafe, etc.). My unit has an ideal layout for work from home and a huge patio.

Edit: $3,196/mo including valet trash pickup ($35) and pest control ($4)

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞
