    I’m more concerned with how teachers weight ancient vs contemporary history. I feel like most things taught are so far back in such a different era, the truths must be significantly tougher to find/grasp, right? So why the back toward current timeline chronology? “The only thing we’ve ever learned from history is that we can’t learn from history”

      I mean, I don’t know about you, but I didn’t cover that much ancient history either.
