American history classes are such shit. I thought I hated the topic til I was an adult.
Not like the German version is much better lol
Unless we're talking about board games or asshole philosophers; that's generally not a strong claim.
German history class is as much as a lottery as anywhere else.
Didn't really enjoy English class until my I got my last teacher for the remaining 3 years.
Same for Maths: I did not enjoy it but she explained it so well I got a solid B in my finals.
The following teachers were basically trash in comparison to motivating me.
So in essence: It usually depnds on the teacher.
Yeah, but american history classes are, um...
So there's this guy in american history. We teach he was a great general who had wooden teeth and couldnt tell a lie and chopped down a cherry tree (seems out of place). Was a general in the revolution (he won a single battle. Ambushed some drunk mercenaries on Christmas eve), and despite being the richest man in the country he never paid his soldiers. His teeth were not wooden; they were real human teeth, taken from the mouths of slaves. Living slaves.
