    I loved history at school when we learned in a narrative style with a real time-line.

    Then they moved away from that style and created a massive ignorance of our history.

    In my day we heard tales of Sir Frances Drake, Nelson, Wellington and the great Empire builders like Cecil Rhodes, it was exciting hearing about how we thrashed the French at Trafalgar and earlier singeing the King of Spain's beard. It got the pulses racing and developed real interest.

    Then the educationalist got all politically correct. How dare they teach us of the great heros who were nasty to the French and as for Empire... oh no, instead children you have to think about what it would feel like being a child in Victorian England... That is where it went wrong.
