It's the nation in which we all live - it's called History,

Are you telling me that schools no longer teach History?

Well the trouble with history is that there is err.. rather a lot of it. I'm doing it at A-Level now and I'm doing it at Uni next year and I know very little about Mary Queen of Scots, and anything I do know about the Royal Family hasnt been taught in school. But on the other hand, I've been taught very well on equally significant and important topics such as British Imperialism in the 19th century, Nazi Germany & the last years of Tsarism in Russia.

I also find it funny how people constantly criticse the education system when more people than ever are going on to higher education with A-levels and now University. People are generally so much more educated nowadays than a century ago, or even half a century ago.
