Public Research: Field of Study - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I love my history...if Human Resources didn't have the advantage in the money I'd probably be off teaching history.

I think it's quite a shame on how History is taught these days (see Loewen's 'Lies My Highschool History Teacher Taught me'). It's a pity history is taught by the 'book' and as they say (which is quite an accurate saying) the books are written by the victors. History was my 'field of study,' always has been a true passion, and will always remain so.

Edit: oh boy, I didn't realize you could vote for more than one option.
