I encounter people in college who don't even know who Lawrence of Arabia or Alexander the Great were. If HS kids can't even handle national and world history up to WWII, why expect them to learn anything more we add into their curriculum(sp)?
Most of the real important history you learn is in college with government and history classes. Not to mention sociology classes help you to understand why history played out the way it did a-lot more. I also consider college my first real glimpse at history as well, because you're going to learn a-lot more from that professor than you would from a HS teacher repeating a one-sided history out of a textbook for verbatim.<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>
There's a difference between struggling to cope with the data and unwillingness or lack of interest in a subject. |
