A few thoughts on education.

As I was preparing this site it made me think. I was thinking that too many students today do not realize how interesting history actually is. I have a particular liking to World War II and the Holocaust. If I have this interest then other students must have an interest in something that has a regard to history. I think that every student just needs to find that one topic that captures their imagination and sparks their interest. If this was to happen then I can foresee a resurgence in the enjoyment of history. History is more than a bunch of old people that we have to learn about. It is a teaching of what mistakes have been made and what not to make again. I am going to add a couple links to films that I might find interesting to certain areas of history and think that would make good examples of what happened.
