| History is the complilation of facts and opinions a certain group of people have decided to agree upon at a certain time period.
In other words, it changes.
I teach gifted classes (math and science) with a focus on change. The English language evolves, our view of history and leaders changes, new information is introduced into science, and techniques to teach math are fluid.
Since your skills, beliefs, etc. need to change with the times to help you remain marketable, it is necessary to get that across to the kids from an early age. |
