I don't see why we really need to know about history at all actually. I enjoy history classes and usually find them interesting, but why is it a required course in middle school and high school. I mean, why do you need to know about World War 1? Is it somehow going to help your career? Unless you plan on being a history teacher or historian.
well i liked history...
the reason why they teach it to you is so you can see what happened in the past and how we made it though and how much america has changed...
do you ever ask about your ancestors??..like ever curious about your family tree?? origin? it really has no affect on your carrer but its nice to know where your family came from and what tributes and turmoils they went though right??
its just interesting ... like you said.. |  | |

your grammar and punctuation is fabulous for being 13...
but some people are just like that..
its very unfortunate that america will always be a little defensive about racism...
Thanks for the compliment. I just get annoyed because the same boy is the one that I get into flame wars all the time with. the reason being is because he has an ego problem. He doesn't like it when people talk back to him and he want to be right all the time. Then when someone like me comes around to disagree with him he starts insulting me and straying away from the debate.
Like if I was in a debate with him about Animal cruelty and I disagreed with him on a subject in the debate. He would be like " Whatever! You are just too narrow headed and clueless to understand which is why no one likes you!"
So anyways yeah xD. | | | |

just another 14 year old boy with an ego problem like you said...
dont let it get to you...
im white and think that black history month should most deffinetly be recognised...
he is just the narrow headed one...
Yeah. My views on racism is that it doesn't matter what race we are. The human race itself is ignorant and will eventually kill itself from it's own hatred towards things as petty as skin color. Animals are a good example of what we should be like. Not being fury and feathery but not always discriminating because animals don't really care at all. | | | |

just curriculum that the government feels should be thought i guess...
you should send a letter to the school board or something
A lot of people think that the reason why we learn a lot of the useless stuff such as algebra so that our minds can be closed minded to the important things so that it will be easier for the government to control us. Though that is all just conspiracy. The only reason why we have all these exams is so funding can be earned. Really the tests don't help at all.
I'm straying off topic now xD | | | |
