History is way back in the past. Is it necessary to learn what happened back then? Not really, stop talking about the past, let go of it.
Let's learn about what's happening around the world today instead (Current Events)
Because learning about what's going on in the world right now can help students evaluate what might happen next. What's going on right now around the world is more important than discussing about what happened before.
Honestly tired of hearing about dates and people who died forever ago. Why do we need to know that stuff when the economy is crashing right now? Makes way more sense to focus on here and now.
