Why do they leave all of this good stuff out of the history books man? If there were more content like this in the history books, maybe students would be more interested. >.<

That aside, this is awesome. Not only do you get a good laugh, you also learn something new in the long run. I have never heard of any of these events, until now so yeah...

Why so awesome Poland? <3

I know, that always bothers me! Of course, even the good stuff they DO cover, they first pound out every fiber of entertainment until the story has the consistency of spam, studded with displeasing gritty morsels of names and dates you won't remember.

I know, right? I also hate that when they actually do cover the good stuff, there's only like four to five pages on it max instead of a whole chapter or two on it. >:

In all my time of going to school, I've only had two history teachers that bothered to show us stuff that they wouldn't put in the history books for us to know... I miss those classes already.

I find it particularly frustrating whenever I remember that, over the course of my K-12 schooling, American colonization and Revolution were covered about six times.

I get it! Puritans! Quakers! Georgia was a penal colony! I get it!

I know! I also had to cover those subjects for a bit in my American Literature class, though some of the first hand accounts were interesting to read. D:

By far the best history class I've had so far this year was World History. I was happy to learn about other civilizations and countries instead of the same stuff, over and over again.

Good lord, don't get me started on Gerogia History. I had to re-learn stuff I already knew about a state that I lived in for most of my life. It was an easy, but frustrating class at times. Dx
