RE: How Authentic Is The History We Are Taught In School?
This was repetitive in some places actually I skipped a few paragraphs try to avoid copying topic sentences....
I really loved this realization though! Yes! Anything at all could have been the reality before and we wouldn know the difference! My personal conclusion was to find the damage in the following sentence
Those who do not know the history are doomed to repeat it
From kids books to articles to textbooks they are all made to condition us... maybe even to scare us from taking a path our history books show "didn't work out."
I think our aim should be to teach/ take in nothing as fact but instead learn processes (critical thinking, communication, self discipline, research, home, applied science, business processes). All the facts we need can support the lessons. It would be so much more fun to learn too! Our next generation would have so much more enthuiasm and therefore potential than we did!
Very good points.
