IS HISTORY BORING ?

HISTORY IS NOT BORING
It’s sad to admit but I’m sure teachers worldwide would have to agree that many of their students are not huge fans of History. Most students can’t quite grasp why they need to retain historical information that they don’t feel like
they’ll end up remembering five years down the road.

It is unfair however for history to be viewed in such a negative light. History is not only an important subject, but it’s also informative and interesting. While shifting your student’s mindsets won’t happen overnight, it’s most certainly possible. You’d be pleasantly surprised at how a few changes can make your students fall in love with history.
