Conclusions are not always pleasant.

I often suggest in workshops that if you have 30 students in your American History course in 11th grade, or whatever grade level, that you maybe triple them up. You put, and have them choose, let's say 11 different Native American cultures. Maybe you give them a list of 15 and they choose 11 of those 15 so that they have some choice in the matter.

History can be a weapon, and it can be used against you.

Students will start finding history interesting when their teachers and textbooks stop lying to them.

All of the common core standards stuff about critical reading and critical thinking and so on can only be positive.

There is no excuse for these 1,152 page textbooks.

What gets lost in the textbook is the overall narrative. It gets lost in all the boxes and all the photos and all the little stuff that's stuck in all the time.
