History is one of those subjects that's immensely fascinating, but gets
taught in exactly the way that's most likely to turn students off ever
taking an interest in it - much like reading, where even if the method
for teaching *how* to read isn't faulty (which it all too often is,)
the actual *reading a book* part is treated as nothing more than the
preamble to the hell that is book reports and dull-ass were-you-paying-
the-barest-minimum-of-attention quizzes.
