A Better Way to Teach History
- endymi0n 11y agoTo this day I can vividly recall most European history from the French revolution on and can argument on why the world wars were inevitable from the side of every faction. All this from the work of one teacher who changed my perception about "history" (which used to be my absolute hate topic in school) forever. I could not agree more on the "grand arc" style of learning that favors visualizing chains of causation and arguments in their historical contexts over binge remembering random facts and year numbers. Sadly, the latter is just so much easier to check.
