Book: Lies My Teacher Told Me
Posted: Mon Apr 16, 2007 7:30 am
Have you read the book Lies My Teacher Told Me? I did a while back, and I loved it.
It explores the problems with the way public school teach history - dry Eurocentric facts with idolized heros. It's at least partially the result of textbook publishers making books that sell well rather than books that tell the truth.
Anyway, homeschoolers have the lucky advantage of controlling their own history lessons, so it might be a good read to see what your history curriculum is missing.
