A great history teacher can be amazing. I was fortunate to have a variety of excellent teachers. I was always gonna do something bookish (hah! Im an electrician, funny how that goes) but I had a physics honors teacher who stood out like that. Made me see the world completely differently.

Unfortunately, I think the places you have to learn a lot of history are outside of classrooms. Most of my history teachers were very pro status quo, unlike my literature teachers. I usually played devils advocate.

Now that one kid is in those classes I feel obligated to round out that education.
