Jessica, I agree with everything you said. Here I am having been a college professor and now a law school prof, and I can tell you (sheepishly) that there are parts of US history about which I had little or no understanding until I got into genealogy at age 50! I've learned so much in the last four or five years that I wish I had really learned in high school!Craig Mansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06567686559055003349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7253882682634493807.post-81762308863661918682008-06-30T20:25:00.000-04:002008-06-30T20:25:00.000-04:00Great post!

High school history was very boring just learning names dates and events. I didn't pay much attention back then and now I wish I had. It didn't interest me, but now it does. I agree that the way it is taught has a lot to do with it. It needs to be made more interesting one way or another. Great post!
