Roy: I don't know what sort of history the schools are teaching but if nothing has changed since my day it probably doesn't matter. The problem then, and probably continues to be, that the history texts were painfully dull. I didn't discover until well into my adult years that history, if well written, could be more enjoyable than fiction. Be sure that your grandchildren are exposed, as early as possible, to history as it should be. It's out there, tons of it.
