    Here is the list of our responses to the question,
What is the result of teaching history in this way?

    * Students cram info into short-term memory and
forget it in preparation of the next test.

    * The dull, droning way history is taught causes
students to "zone out" during class= no emotion.
   
    * Textbooks discourage students from learning
about history from their families/communities.

    * History has no "real" skeletons=(no connection
between information means retention of the
information.

    * Students are taught that their government is
never wrong.

    * Cause and effect relationships are lost "No one
is to blame".
