I pretty much hate history in school...
1. k-12 uses that subject as means to brainwash political propaganda. They tell the half story of history and kids grow up believe it to be fact. Case in point - Lincoln. He is remembered as one of the greatest US presidents for why? He was NOT against slavery, and emancipation proclamation freed not one slave. He was against the south exercising their constitutional right to leave the union. He started an illegal civil war that killed more Americans then any other war, illegally held reporters and supporters of the south captive in hidden jails with out a fair trail, ignored the supreme courts orders, illegally invaded the south without a declaration of war from congress. basically a grade-A asshole, and k-12 doesnt teach you that.
2. secondly I really hate that history is just reading and memorization. There isnt really anything exciting about it.
I like how my "history" courses are now...melded with literature, art, music, and film. Woohoo for culture.
It is sad though how history is getting melded into other subjects. It was a stand alone subject in elementry school but kind of dropped off the map once i got into high school.
I love it though. It's more tailored to interests, not just dates and facts.

as it should be..... history classes that just emphasize dates/events are the worst. They're basically stats classes.
To fully understand History.... you have to understand the bigger picture of what was going on at the time. (and not that "The civil war was fought to free slaves"....... as it is endlessly taken out of context)
so i was all excited that my movie and 4 CD's came in the mail only 2 open my package and see 2 of the CD's are completely destroyed X( the movie and 2 other CD's don't look broke but im not taking any chances, im sending everything back and i want all new stuff.
