RE: How Authentic Is The History We Are Taught In School?
to extract the information that can be useful and interpret it in a way that serves you in your daily life.
That's a very practical thought.
I think history is more like; his story and I'm sticking to it. Here, let's write it down in this book and call it facts. Then make the next few generations memorize them until they stop questioning. Rinse and repeat.
And we know that words do hold power, so by saying "his" story in itself is one sided. In the school setting they don't want opinions just individuals who are great regurgitaters. (sp? lol) they wait too long teach children how to research... Great and insightful post
I'm glad you enjoyed the post. Just sharing some thoughts I was having today.
