Between college graduation and the invitation to play in the NFL, Fleck briefly taught sixth grade social studies.
My question is does anybody really have a 6th grade social studies teacher? In sixth grade you typically have a teacher and a classroom, no? In 7th grade you move to different teachers and different classrooms? And if this lasted for a week in his life it must have made a huge impact on him?

6th grade in middle School in Anoka Hennepin you move around to different teachers all day. They have "Minnesota Studies" as a social studies class.My question is does anybody really have a 6th grade social studies teacher? In sixth grade you typically have a teacher and a classroom, no?

Minnesota offers a 5-8 Middle School license. I think Mendota Heights/West St Paul has middle schools at 5th grade with designated Social Studies teachers. So...it certainly is possible to only teach Social Studies in 6th grade.My question is does anybody really have a 6th grade social studies teacher?

Huh? Did you grow up in the 60s?

I'd cut him some slack. My 6th grade where I grew up was lumped in the elementary school (K-6) so we did move a little but certainly not like a traditional middle school. This was in the late 80's and in the Twin Cities.
I can confirm that ISD197 in West St. Paul/Mendota Heights, which my kids attend, does have fifth and sixth grade social studies teachers; our middle schools are grades 5-8.
As to the larger point, without going full Reusse, this is something Fleck really ought to be more careful about, if for no other reason than to avoid giving ammo to his critics. A quick look at his resume makes it quite clear that while he might have a teaching degree and some classroom experience, he certainly didn't do it very long, and he'd probably be better off not citing it as being particularly relevant to what he's doing now. It certainly doesn't help fight the perception in some quarters that he's a chronic BSer.
TO be fair, a lot of the times he's mentioned it he's said "I'm trained to be [ . . . ] I have an elementary education degree", which is completely true and I believe it is relevant because of the teaching aspect. However, a few times he has forgotten the "I'm trained to be" part which is a bit confusing when you look at his timeline.
True enough, and I can certainly believe that he did pick up some things while training to teach that have an impact on how he approaches things now, but let's be honest: if you taught for less than a year and depict it as anything other than a relatively minor part of your life, a lot of people are going to raise an eyebrow and be less likely to give you the benefit of the doubt.
I'm not sure I have ever heard him put that caveat beforehand. I don't care, but have heard him say "I was a ....." many many times. Technically true. I'll focus on other "stretches" PJ has made tho.
