Students think history is a waste of time

One neat thing I did today was discuss feudalism in France and England. I covered parts of the Norman Conquest, Hundreds Years war etc. Then I pulled up a Deadliest Warriors video that showed off Joan of Arc and William the Conqueror. It showed battle scenes, military technology and covered historical facts. The kids really liked it. Any of you ever seen that show? I didn't even know it existed until a couple weeks ago.

Haha don't worry. I've heard a lot. When the government shut down kids kept telling me it was only shut down because Obama was black and Republicans didn't like him. The most hilarious thing I've heard all year was their explanations as to how the illuminati is real. One girl told me her grandfather has something called an "AARP" card (I'm not kidding, she used her hands as quotations) and said he is a part of free masons and always goes off and uses the card in the illuminati to get money. I stopped class, pulled up the AARP website and said you do know the AARP is insurance for old people right? Other kids laughed but she refused to believe me.

Sad, but she is getting transferred soon because her mom was arrested for doing drugs and selling their items to pay for it. Society is screwed.

i highly doubt any of what i've told you was included in your curriculum considering most it wouldn't even be discussed outside of a 400 level college course.

but fine, throw my help in the trash. tell them your boring and false "facts" about slavery.
