The main reason that social studies can be so boring to students is that it is not made relevant to them. Most school aged young people are focused on their own social situation. That is normal; that is where they are in life. They need to find their comfort zone and where they fit in while they are constantly bombarded by commercial and peer messages telling them what that should be. In other words, students of the age that social studies becomes more complex, are at the same time expending a great deal of emotional energy just trying to survive (and hopefully succeed) in their own social situations. How could the social situations of people long ago or far away interest them when their own situation is so complex, so intense, so difficult, so all consuming?
A social studies teacher needs to help students make the connections up front between what people in other times and places did and the circumstances that led them in those directions and what today's students have do deal with in today's society.

Why is social studies called social studies if there is nothing social about it?
There actually is stuff social about it......

For example, we have Social Studies in school, so that can explain how it is still social! :)
