As for being upset about whether or not it should be categorized as Geography/ History, I do not care. I dont think that any school subjects have clear lines of separation. You cant understand geography, without some sort of historical (and even polital) context. Why is there a North and a South Korea? For the record, I learned more about Poetry in my French classes, than all of my years of English, or creative writing. Bonus. Thankfully, my teacher would allow our class to follow/explore tangents.

As for the whole "that's what college is for" theorem: I am also fortunate that my teachers didnt have that philosophy. I'm glad I didnt have to forfeit all challenging classroom discussions, just because I would never end up in college.

"Dont forget where you came from...remember who you are and if and when you have kids, pass that on to your kids and here's how to do it:

Everytime something unpleasant comes on the news and your kid's watching it, don't change the channel. Talk to them about it. Talk intelligently about it, explain it to them. Share the knowledge. I mean, my parents were very open- I knew what race riots were, I knew what the vietnam war was, I knew what all kinds of shit was, when I was real small. I dug it. I've always been a newshound, but people I know now, I'm 41 now. A lot of people I know, people my age have no tangible memory of the vietnam war, or even Watergate. And I think that's because their Eisenhower-brainwashed parents decided to put the blinders on, whenever the biafra war, or the vietnam war, or anything that they didnt want them to see, came on TV, they changed the channel. Dont make your kids stupid."
