I agree with you that history is not taught as much as it should be. I think that in 4 years of high school and 2 years of junior high I only had one history class. I believe I only had one history class in college, too (one semester) and that was not American History. I am fascinated with history and I do lots of reading on my own, but I am embarrassed about how much I don't know.

When I was in school, back in the dark ages, we had history every year of junior high and high school except for a semester of Civics. If students do not know their history, then they will not know where this country has been or where it is going. That is very important today. I loved history and thought about majoring in it in college but I changed my mind after the first year. I still enjoy it a lot and love to read. In elementary school, my favorite books were the small books about our Founding Fathers and other important historical figures.
