My history teachers were all so dry and boring. I recall the one guy who would wear short sleeved polyester suits in light blue (yes, really) and class always consisted of him copying the chapter word for word on the many chalkboards leaving blanks which we would then copy and fill in the blanks. That was it. Every day until test day which would be the same thing. Fill in the blanks... slightly different blanks but still. There was NO discussion at all. No understanding. Just copy and paste. Most boring class ever. Man did I dread it. With that sort of teaching by some teachers, it's no wonder that our youth isn't interested in history. Reading C.P.'s account of her history class, I know that I really missed out. It's a shame that all teachers aren't of that caliber.
