Laugh if you want, but guess who gets all A's in social studies?  |
Oh! I wouldn't dream of laughing. Kids need some culture in their lives. It gives them something to compare their own culture to and helps them to relate to people that are different. Not to mention that other cultures can be fascinating. I like Asian culture myself (obviously
). I can speak enough Japanese to lose most people. And I must admit, women do look great in kimonos.
I spent 6 months in Europe a few years ago and you'll see some great things over there. I've been to Italy, Spain, Greece, France, and Turkey.
