| I would like to think that I am not long out of school tho each passing day makes that really a lie!!!! However, I have been watching the Auschwitz thing on BBC2 and found it really good.
However, what really annoys me is that during my school history lessons I learnt about Red Indians and the Battle of Little Big Horn, Medicine Thro Time but absolutley nothing about British History.
Why is it that every child in America can resite all of the presidents in order but I personally wasn't taught who was Prime Minister before Maggie.
I hated history becuase I couldn't see the relevant of General Custer to my life. I'm sure I would have felt a lot better being taught about British history, the stuff that shaped our country and the people in it.
The education system is just another way of telling the people of Britain that our history isn't good enough. We have nothing worth learning about so lets learn about the Americans instead.
