Current social studies curriculum is a mile wide and a quarter-of-an-inch deep, according to a committee developed by the Hall County Board of Education, aiming to narrow the focus and increase the depth of that curriculum. Chaired by Sen. Butch Miller, R-Gainesville, the 14-person group composed of a mix of teachers, parents, politicians and other stakeholders met for the first time Wednesday to discuss its goals for revising the social studies curriculum currently being taught in the county school system. Miller said he feels social studies needs to be placed on an equal status with other subjects.
