[Public-List] Gord's history lesson

[Dave Terrell]

Sidney Fine, a great teacher and scholar of American history at UM in Ann Arbor, used to say that he knew when incoming had poor quality history teachers in high school: they asked if they had to know names and dates!. As one who had a great HS history teacher, Sidney was right on target.

We should make more of our heros...

I agree !

I used to think that we Canadians only had boring history.
It took me half a lifetime for my reading habits to broaden enough to realize that the fault lies with boring teachers and the boring text books that were used.
North American history is filled with amazing people and equally amazing deeds.

And how many of our American cousins know that at one point in their early history, they were at war with France ???
I didn't.

Cheers,    Rod
