[edit] Merger

I think we should refrain from the merger because the "School subjects" are probably targeted for grammer and high school and my experience is that the subject is called "Social studies". This is not cencorship for kids: this just trying to talk in the language that they are familiar with. This is just a persist oddity of schooling: "Social studies" is just social science lite with a lot geography thrown in. -- Fplay 07:39, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

There was a very confusing redirect: Social Study → Social Sciences ; created by a non-native speaker of English. Clearly, it should be Social Study → Social Studies. I am going to attribute the merger proposal to this confusing situation and remove the merger tags. The PURPOSE of this page is to accomodate how this amalgam of subjects are aggregated under to rubric "Social Studies". -- Fplay 07:58, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
