Who remembers the Geography Bee? It's basically the academic version of The Hunger Games, where the winner gets a certificate and a lifetime of knowing the capital of Burkina Faso. Spoiler alert: it's Ouagadougou. Try saying that three times fast. I participated once, thinking it would be a breeze. But when they asked me to point out Uzbekistan on the map, I froze. I had a better chance of finding Waldo in a sea of Waldos. The shame I felt was so intense; I considered moving to Uzbekistan and becoming their missing person.

You ever notice how social studies teachers have this uncanny ability to turn the most exciting historical events into a cure for insomnia? I mean, they could make the Renaissance sound like a recipe for gluten-free bread. "And then, folks, the Medici family sponsored the arts, and there was a rebirth of culture, but don't worry, no carbs involved!" You know you're in for a snooze fest when they start pulling out those outdated maps that still have the USSR on them. I'm sitting there thinking, "Do they also have a treasure map to Atlantis hidden somewhere in that cabinet?"
And let's not forget those historical reenactments they force us to participate in. Last week, I had to play a tree in the background while my classmates were pretending to be pilgrims. I've never felt so rooted in education, literally.

Can we talk about the ancient textbooks social studies teachers hand out? I swear, those books have been around since the signing of the Magna Carta. You open them, and a cloud of dust escapes, like it's been hibernating for centuries. The real mystery is when they assign you questions at the end of the chapter, and the answers are nowhere to be found. I'm convinced those questions are just there to prepare us for the mysteries of adulthood, like trying to figure out your taxes or assembling IKEA furniture without crying.
I asked my social studies teacher about it, and she said, "Oh, just use your critical thinking skills." Critical thinking? I can't even think non-critically about what I want for lunch!

You know your social studies teacher has gone too far when they start comparing historical figures to your relatives. "Today, class, we're going to talk about the Reformation, which is a lot like Uncle Bob's divorce. There was a split, some heated arguments, and eventually, a new church was formed in the garage." And don't get me started on the awkward family reunions after that lesson. "Hey, Aunt Mary, did you know you're the Martin Luther of our family? No? Well, now you do."
In conclusion, social studies teachers turn family gatherings into historical dramas, and I'm just waiting for the day they cast me as the rebellious teenager in the War of 1812.
