history class is pointless...

He who does not study the past is destined to repeat it.

yeah I agree, alot of history classes are just pointlessly hard, I know we have to learn from our mistakes and at least have an idea of what happened back then, but they don't have to make it so boring and hard

If you get a shitty teacher the class can be torture. However when you land an interesting teacher this class can be awsome IMO.

Exactly what i was gonna say. Ya could go through school and disagree with everything and hate it but in the end when u graduate, if u even do, you will realize how stupid u were. School today, atleast all of the basic courses, are rediculously easy. If you cant pass these courses then how do you plan on living on your own?

well, i was curious as to what you fine ps nerds here thought about the matter.

i mean , is history class really as pointless as i think it to be, or am i putting my foot in my mouth?

I've seen some pretty ignorant posts in my days... this is one of them.

That's crazy cause I never read that book and just thought of those two first.

Quite frankly I found the majority of American History boring. There are some things about American history that I like but I personally prefer older history than American history.

[Mag-Mower]

I prefer history with wars in it.

If you don't study history how will you ever learn about all the atrocities performed on societies in the name of "Gods".

Oh wait, you probably have a TV, and the Iraqi war is still going on

I find most history interesting so I enjoy it.

History is alright, but i hate the boring textbook history, where all it does is throw dates and names at you. Plus its teh easiest class.

I actually enjoy history class most of the time. I just find it interesting to see what our country (and our world) has gone through to bring it to the state it's in today. Plus it generates thought of how if one small event had taken place in a different manner how much different the world would be. I'm actually considering becoming a history professor after college.
