[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]op isn't from here and so doesn't consider it a home worth knowing about.  It's the result of dc transient population.  State history is really fascinating - you get to see larger national history playing out in a microcosmic, and you get a deeper understanding to  the the spaces you move through that you've never thought about.  Dc is no different in this regard than any other state.  It's small, but so is rhode island and they have a state history requirement[/quote]

Don't even think about it in terms of DC history, although it is actually interesting if taught well but that students are hopefully learning other skills about research, analysis of primary source and other historical documents, reading comprehension, writing papers, and presentation skills. If they are weak in these skills it help reinforce them. If not, then hopefully they will learn some fascinating facts about their own country. At least DC history is useful, it is the nation's capital after all. [/quote]
