Public education has been going downhill ever since we started viewing it as another expense to be minimized and streamlined and boiled down to preparing for standardized testing.

That is all catching up with us. Like when the British government asked Neflix to put a warning on The Crown to indicate that it is fiction.

Whatever happened to teaching students the distinction between history, documentary, historical fiction, literary fiction and fantasy?

In our modern world, they all overlap in our minds.

We need to teach history better. STEM rightfully got a lot of attention but history needs to be taught better and I’m convinced of that everyday. I really wish I didn’t have so much anxiety with crowds because I honestly would love to be able to teach history in a relatable way.
