Did This Dude Seriously Just Compare Hitler to Rusty?!

[klunderbunker]

Sad as well, since the most important stuff didn't even start happening until........what, World War One?

 

[Downward Spiral]

I've never had to do a presentation on him. In all the years of learning history in school we are just now getting to the twentieth century.

This is where all the interesting stuff happened.

I could not care less about the 'might of the Norman army' or whatever they teach in pre-1750 history.

What classifies as modern and ancient history anyway?

 

[klunderbunker]

If my memory is right in America ancient is considered before written records. Not sure of that though.

 

[Murfish]

I took several years of history throughout school...never got past the Civil War.

True Story. And ridiculous.

There's still hope for you yet. Your class seems to be quite accelerated if you have already reached the Civil War.

 

[Murfish]

Oh, and I liked the one year of World history we did before dedicating a whole two years to American history.

I suppose they made the ratio of time based on importance.

Same thing for me.

Seriously? That's horrible, you think they could at least go to the 20th century.

We're in overkill here. 17 chapters in three months. 1600-Present day by May.

AP. Has to be.

 

[Eternal Dragon]

AP US it the most useless class I've ever taken. It should be renamed "how many names, events, dates, and people can you memorize in 30 seconds."

The sad part is, I'm in College American History, and we haven't even got past the American Revolution yet!

Thats why I also take more interesting history classes like World Religions and Violation of Human Rights. In VOHR, we get to learn about genocide, much more interesting than learning about the Mayflower Compact for 10 years in a row.

 

[klunderbunker]

Everyone knows US history. Why do we need to learn it even more?

 

[Downward Spiral]

In modern history this year, we learnt about Ideologies in history (Communism being the main one), terrorism, Aboriginal History and Relations, and People in Power. All revolving around the 20th century (with the exception of the Aboriginal one, which included history from before then).

It's good to be an Australian history student.

 

[Eternal Dragon]

Because American History is lyke the best. >.<

I've had three years of World History, the rest American.

Genocide studies is such a fucking joke in my school, no matter how horrible that sounds.

 

[klunderbunker]

As weird as this sounds, it makes me miss high school. Miles better than what we get now.

 

[JackAttack]

Genocide studies is such a fucking joke in my school, no matter how horrible that sounds.

Same as in my school.

It sounds terrible, but they shoved the Holocaust down our throats so much thats its made people apathetic to it. Thats part of the reason why there are so many jokes revolving around the Holocaust and Jews.

Meanwhile, they never taught us anything about Rwanda or Darfur, which is still happening. The Holocaust was terrible, but I think they should at least have taught us what whats currently happening in Darfur, instead of just ignoring it.

Thats the worst part about my school. You have to take the elective classes if you really want to learn anything.

Which is why the next generation that comes through it is in trouble. The education system is just get them in, teach them the bare bones and get them out asap. When I was in 7th grade, there was a kid that literally couldn't read a simple paragraph. You'd think that'd be a red flag. I got to know him a bit. Know how much help he got with this? Zero. The teacher that called on him to read it and saw he simply couldn't did nothing. That's awful.

 

[Marquis]

A classmate i met in freshman year of High School actually did not know his fractions. I asked how did you make it to high school if you don't even know fractions? Apparently he had the same math teacher for a couple of years. Who would never actually teach just mostly get off topic and talk about other things. So even though he failed every single one of her tests. She still passed him cause his Homework was always correct and on time(he would copy his homework off someone in the morning). That just shows how flawed the school system is. I think the problem might be teachers don't care. Or have to many students to worry about. Ether way both can be fixed by more funding to schools.

 

[klunderbunker]

Why should they care? They get no money, they get told what to do and how to do it, they have to walk a tightrope to not offend anyone on the planet, and they're almost always unrespecte.d

Exactly what i think. That's why i say by funding schools more. They can afford to pay teachers better. And hire more. Over crowded classes are a problem i remembered being around when i was in school.

 

[klunderbunker]

My question: Where do you plan to get that money from? We're broke, for a ton of reasons.

 

[Final Form Snyper.]

Steal, rob, mug..... something along those lines.

Something could have been done awhile ago. But now yea nothing can be done.

 

[klunderbunker]

So much money is poured overseas that everything here has been forgotten. Not the best fiscal policy.

Rusty should SO change his name to


"The Austrailian dream" Rusty Rhodes.
