TweetI always liked History in school, big ol' books full of cool pictures and stories I could get lost in. America The Land and It's People was my favorite that I got for Collage History. I tossed all those in the used book bin at the High School, S#it ! Powell's buys those back stupid me ! Anyway, the "grown up" version is way different than the Grade School version. The Spanish, Native Americans, and Black Slavery etc. not like what younger children are taught. Native Americas where slaughtering each other over land way before the Spanish and White Man came. No kids, Christopher Columbus wasn't jus checking out the beaches exploring. The Africans where selling and trading Africans to the Dutch, not a bunch of Crackers from the Dirty South. Great Job Baby1 ! I think that's way cool that you're getting the chance to do that. I'll tell ya I learned way more outta the classroom, I didn't have al the drama ya know ? and I didn't have to compete with 20 or so other kids, kids who only cared about making a grade rather than actually learning or even grasping what was taught if that makes sense. So many "smart" and "well to do" people that cant even make a grilled cheese sandwich or change a tire. Blessed Be Girl !
