[quote=Anonymous]History is a subject matter in an overall curriculum.

I also found documentaries, specifically the history of Jazz, taught US history in a way that was way more interesting.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

If the history stuff a future-doctor person has learned is useless once the person becomes a doctor, why bother with history at all, either in class or through unschooling?

If you're trying to persuade people that unschooling is a good thing, I don't think that saying history is useless is a good strategy.[/quote]

Saying your "curriculum" is paramount in being a successful <fill in the blank> is not a good strategy. I don't want you to unschool so I am not trying to persuade you to do so. I think it is a valid form for educating some children as is home school, public school or private school. I will never believe that all kids will do best with 1 way.

Has anybody here said that all kids do best with one way? I certainly haven't.

Indeed, has anybody said anything about any curriculum at all? "History" is not a curriculum. It's an area of knowledge.
