Yea, thats not bad. My elementry school was public, but run like a
prison camp. We were well disiplined, but we could of used more
enjoyable learning experiences. I think i value History a lot, mostly
because understanding it has helped me to recognize patterns that
society can make. The problem is, most History is taught in such a
boring manner that it is no wonder kids don't like it.
