I thought this was very interesting and shows some of the big differences in what used to be taught as compared to today.

That was interesting. I probably would have failed because I was too busy working on the farm way back when.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing that CDJ! I love history and one of my degrees is in it. My two other degrees are in education so this is my thing.
