[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For example, the presentation on the Depression was incredibly naive.  As an economist, I think they could easily do better.

Yay!  Big government miraculously pulls us out of a Depression that only lasted eight years!  FDR saves the nation!  Hoover didn't care since he didn't enlarge the government enough.  (He did expand the government: look it up.) FDR further expands the government and eventually going into war saves the economy.
Never mind that no economic downturn had ever lasted that long in the past.  I'm sure that there was no alternative view on what was happening and how to fix it.  After all, the teacher didn't mention it.  We certainly wouldn't want to look at the issues discussed in the 1936 election.[/quote]

This year was 300 years of APUSH taught in less 75% of the normal time. My kid took it this year, and it moved so fast to get the material in.  They have never dug in depth on each election because it’s not on the exam, and they certainly didn’t have time to add extra this year.  What you want is better taught in AP Econ or a 200 or 300 level college class focusing on the Depression.  My kid learned a lot in APUSH, but the class (like AP World) is a mile wide and an inch deep— a survey class. Your kid got a survey. Don’t like it?  Take it up with the College Board.  It’s their curriculum and you knew that when your kid took the class.

I have no idea what this has to do with the TJ lawsuit though.
