Thermal

I’ll take their word for it. It reminds me of the Egypt projects we did at school - I must have spent days on the subject across primary and secondary school, and I did enjoy it - however, you have to ask why our history education stopped around the 1500’s. Don’t get me wrong, I’m actually more interested in history, especially prehistory, now than I was then, but you have to ask whether teaching children about the last 100 years might be a bit more relevant to the world they live in, instead of Mummies & Pyramids? If you’re not going to teach it all, then choose the most relevant? Mine is not to reason why…

    I guess because prehistoric history has less political bias in it? Or maybe it is just easier to get children to use their imaginations about what life was like way back, rather than learning off facts :)

    Or lazy teaching ;-)

    Good points both. History teaching in the UK is rubbish :x

  4. What happened in the last 100 years of so is exciting and well documented… but it may not be the most relevant at all. (If you check my morning post today you’ll see one reason why this may be so.)
