  History as a subject in schools should cover a wide area, preferably with teachers with an enthusiasm for the subject, in order to give students a grounding from which they can develop an interest in a range of topics and also other subjects. The climate change debate is a good example as it can spark an interest in sciences not covered in the standard science curriculum.
  
  Alexander's simplification of "the Battle of Hastings" well demonstrates that even history is a changing and developing subject. In the two weeks they were encamped around Hastings the Normans had operated a scorched earth policy, reaching as far as Dover in the East, burning fields of crops and animal fodder in order to avoid the siege scenario Alexander envisages.
