Why history was uncool when I was young?

#

Could be the teachers. Could be the curriculum. Could be the method of teaching. Could be all of the above and many more.

But I never liked History in school. All I know of the subject is memorization of key dates and black-and-white pictures of historical figures in text books.

I wish I had a storyteller teacher, and of course video aids to learn History as a subject. It would have been so much nicer and so much more interesting to learn.

Come to think of it, deeper knowledge of History would actually make me better off than the random Chemistry class or worse, the ‘Book Binding’ class that I took! :-)
