Bryan, you are absolutely correct!  When I was in high school, I hated
history (excuse me, I mean social studies, we didn't learn history.)  Not
only was it chronological, but since each year we began at "the beginning"
again, we never got past WWI!  As a result, I didn't know how interesting
history could be, and never took a history class in college.  Thank God, I
got a job at a history museum when I got out and LEARNED.  Students will
never get to the analysis and discussion in college if changes aren't made,
in all subjects, in high school.
