| Abstract: | The absence of civil conversations in the wider public and the rise of a polarized citizenry point to the need for the school to recognize its role as an amalgamating and unifying force in society. At the secondary school level, this means that educators will need to look more closely for ways to address issues related to democratic life and to encourage classroom conversations aimed at producing shared and common understandings. Most of this work will reside in the hands of the social studies educator. This essay examines why conversations are critical for the education of the upcoming generation and suggests that some general education reforms be considered in the social studies curriculum.
