For me it was a lot of same old thing until my senior year of High School when we got a new teacher. She really knew what she was doing and didn't just teach from the book - I enjoyed that class.<br /><br />Melissa - That would be interesting to compare what you were taught. I wonder if it would be more accurate than what many schools here teach - I wouldn't be surprised!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609161113240681299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339009608152299571.post-27433565637013815082011-11-22T20:52:42.094-05:002011-11-22T20:52:42.094-05:00Fantastic review, Heather.

Even though I'm not American I did take some American history in both high school and university so I'd be curious to know how my understanding of it meshes with the information in Loewen's book.Melissa @ Confessions of an Avid Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03320886752332455903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339009608152299571.post-30577825692880636712011-11-22T08:42:43.738-05:002011-11-22T08:42:43.738-05:00I found this book really interesting--because my m...I found this book really interesting--because my middle and high schools covered all the "truths" behind the "lies" so I wasn't too shocked! It's funny to me how varied curriculums are! I will say--history is such a nuanced and detailed subject, there's always something to leave out--and it's a tricky business deciding what that will be.Rowennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09757364614589686606noreply@blogger.com
