  • I agree with this for the most part except a few things. Schools should be able to teach differently but only based off their community's or city' need. Or it could be based around what most people prioritize in that area. History shouldn't be optional period. Students need to know what field they're going into freshman year of high school so their pathway to what they hope for can be determined so they aren't taking unnecessary classes. Otherwise I completely agree. I wish more people thought like the two of us.

  • Meh, history isn't really an important class for a good education. It can be useful, but most history classes, specifically early ones, are rather pointless in the grand scheme of things. Most of the important history can be learned in other subjects.

  • I disagree, having a good knowledge of history is a very important thing. It would stop People’s from being as easily swayed by propaganda ie. Don’t vote democrat they like slavery and segregation! Republicans voted against those things. And civics and economics is vital to allow people to know their rights and how the government worlds

  • I didn’t say that history wasn’t important, just that having dedicated history classes is unnecessary for teaching the important parts of history. It’s a matter of cutting out all of the extraneous details that amount to little more than trivia. And I only said “optional”. Students could still choose to take a history class. And my plan includes civics courses.

  • Personally I think History should be mandatory, I didn’t see the civics thing first I apologize for that

  • Good point for the earlier portions of history, but the later portion are relatively important and are necessary for more civil and government things and are easier to learn separate (at least I think so).

  • Eh, I think it would better to tie that history to a course that is meant to teach government, so that it has relevance to the student.

  • Me too. I'm just glad you're civil and open minded about this. Appreciate that.
