[quote=Anonymous]I don't teach in other countries so it does not matter. But I do teach logic.

So it does not matter what they teach in their history class because it is useless once they become a doctor.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many doctors in this area were educated in the US? How many learned about the Mayflower, Robert E. Lee, etc.

I agree you would not be a good unschooler. You don't really seem like a good citizen either.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since we agree that a person could become a doctor with our the history classes taught in school.
[/quote]

Sure. But not a good doctor. Not a well-informed citizen either.

I also can't decide which argument I'm impressed by more:

1. history class, in principle, is useless, because history classes, in practice, are inadequate.
2. "Indians/Mayflower/Boston Tea Party, and all the major wars, Robert E. Lee and a bunch of names" is a bunch of useless facts.[/quote][/quote]

As long as we're going down this rabbit hole (<---useless literary reference I'm using to appear to be educated):  How many doctors in this area, who were not educated in the US, didn't take history classes in the country/countries they were educated in?[/quote][/quote]
