Schools, whether public, charter parochial, private, ELITE PRIVATE, or homeschool teach what I learned about history, way back when. Okay, I'll also admit to coming from a family who loved, cherished, and told factual history, as just stories, and yes, I have read a lot of books on certain different ears, but goodness know, I'm just talking about simple historical facts; not the minutiae.
I agree. To be honest, you can’t miss history unless you almost try.
There is an advantage of being an old coot. You lived through things.
I’m curious. If I can, I try to remember bits and pieces. Over time I’ve learned quite a bit because it interested me enough I wanted to remember it accurately.
Most times I do.
Take care.
