Social Studies Left Out?

The classrooms of today, especially in Title 1 schools, have been mandated to stack up their reading, language, and math testing.  This leaves little to the imagination for a great subject that needs to be learned, social studies.  In the classroom, this subject holds time of around 20 minutes a lesson if that and sometimes it's not even present in the management.  I feel that students enjoy this subject if taught properly but when teachers skip over this, the students loose out in learning.  Unfortunately their is little that can be done but if future teachers help to make the most of their teaching time they can make creative ways to teach this subject.
