- Wed, 14:38: You guys, Jonas just came home from school and handed me his freshman World History syllabus. I am SO EXCITED for him to take this class!
- Wed, 14:39: Here are some of the "Essential Questions" that they will be asking in class:
- Wed, 14:39: "How did the changes in social complexity lead to new patterns of social hierarchy?"
- Wed, 14:39: "To what extent was the development and growth of mercantilism dependent on slavery and cultural destruction?"
- Wed, 14:40: "What were the causes and consequences of imperial expansion and how did the people who were repressed respond?"
- Wed, 14:40: er, that was supposed to say OPPRESSED, not repressed. Hah!
- Wed, 14:41: I tell you for shit sure we were not discussing this in MY freshman history class.
- Wed, 14:42: Although to be fair, my 9th grade history teacher was a guy totally gunning for early retirement. He asked us to name pornos one day.
- Wed, 14:44: Imagine my naive, fresh-from-Catholic school surprise when we all of a sudden had a new teacher that next Monday.
