True history should be taught in the schools

Those who don't learn from the past are doomed to

repeat it. Knowing what mistakes were made in the past
helps us to avoid repeating those mistakes. Learning
about the past helps students understand the present
.there is an old saying that history repeats itself. The
only way we can better ourselves is to learn from the
mistakes that were made in the past, that' history. It is
very important to our well being.
History should not be taught in schools

History is a waste of resources because many people

will never use it in their lives, instead, schools should
teach about law or geography.i f you become a farmer,
doctor, vet , motorcross, or even a bussinuss man or
women then ,no body is not going to ask ,when the
Indians got taken over or when the French army got to
the new world, or even when George Washington
became president of U.S.A.

Advantages
prevents us from making the same mistakes the others
have made in the past.
It is very important to know what happened in the past,
in order to harness the positives for future planning or
make sure that the negatives do not happen again.

History provides identity. Studying history improves

our decision making and judgment. History shows
us models of good and responsible citizenship.
History also teaches us how to learn from the
mistakes of others. History helps us understand
change and societal development. History provides
us a context from which to understand ourselves
and others.

Its important for everyone to learn history and

take their own wisdom from the field. If everyone
read a history book and came to the same
conclusion, lets say that the Spanish American
war was altogether a bad thing and should not be
repeated. Then we would simply teach that and
not teach history. However people come to
different and valid conclusions using the same
information. Therefor it is important to continue
teaching the information and not just the lessons.
The problem with historical education comes
when we focus so much on dates and facts that
students are discouraged from thinking critically
about the information. This is especially bad when
the teacher tries to press their own conclusions
upon the students. This defeats the entire purpose
of the exercise. It is therefore important to both
teach historical information and encourage
discussion about its ramifications.

The main reason would be to socialize children into the culture they
were born into. It's useful to have a sense of how things got to their
current state, what people thought and did in the past, etc.
I doubt you could learn the lessons without having some knowledge
about what actually happened, including rough information about
people and events.

n interesting point of view being given on the debate over

whether history should continue to be taught in schools
unfortunately revisionist history is what is being taught
in schools today. They change and skew the truth, or leave it
out completely for so called politically correct reasons, or to
shape the opinions of the students with falsehood and
outright lies

History shows us models of good and responsible citizenship. History also

teaches us how to learn from the mistakes of others. History helps us
understand change and societal development. History provides us a
context from which to understand ourselves and others.[v] All correct, but
one point which caught my eye was that history provides a context to
understand ourselves and others. This is important because people are
changing incredibly quickly particularly because of environmental factors
like schools and parenting. Rules and regulations have become less
important o society, and so it is even more important to prove to our
children just what is important and what keeps a society functioning.

History can be incorrect as there will be always

political influence.

the issue is that history educators tend to focus too much - which is to say, almost exclusively on memorization of dates, people, places and events. In that morass of facts, the actual work of
historians - namely interpretation - gets totally obscured. That leads students to not even
realize that history, like basically every other discipline under the liberal arts umbrella, is based in

critical thinking, not fact-checking. Historians need to be able to process different arguments,
texts and interpretations and formulate a cogent argument for their own reading of important
events. That's not going to be accomplished by students who think that they fail history if they
can't name all the U.S. presidents in order.
History teaching shouldn't be abolished, then, as much as it should be overhauled. In fact, one
can imagine a curriculum where history becomes a cornerstone subject - what better way to
teach students the crucial skill of 'reading' and interpreting real-world events? But perhaps history
as most students know it does need to go. At the risk of sounding too bold, how much do simple
facts matter in an era of smartphones? Isn't what we do with knowledge more important than the
knowledge itself? If students aren't allowed to figure out for themselves why the study of history is
compelling and relevant, it seems doomed not to be.

it is inevitable that some mistakes from the past will be

made but the time put into history is tremendous
compared to what we get out of it and also memorizing
dates and names is useless.
