The importance of current events cannot be emphasized enough. I promise you that 100 years from now, students in middle schools across God’s earth will be studying your current events. The difference is that to them, it will be “stuff” that happened in the past. It bears repeating: “Today’s current events will be tomorrow’s history.” Discussing current events makes you an informed and involved citizen. Moreover, you will better understand people and how they relate to one another. So, let us consider for a moment the topic of current events. Granted, the upcoming Presidential election will make every textbook, but what about the other events taking place? Aside from the comments I’ve blogged, do you think it is important for middle schoolers to learn about current events? Why or why not? What kinds of current events interest you? Consider these questions for a moment and post a response.
