I’ll go ahead and state the obvious. Knowing that the Revolutionary War preceded the Civil War is not just the retention of meaningless facts. It’s the retention of a conceptual view of history that relates one event leading to another. It’s not possible for one person to know all facts of history, but knowing the difference between two of the very few most important events in your country’s history is nice. Especially if you plan to be a historian.

And I've got to work 'Percy Jackson' into my greek language lessons so the 14 year olds associate the trident of Posideon with the greek letter psi.

I'll quit complaining now. The kids do know that letter, though....
