====== History ====== This is probably best presented around 8th to 9th grade students K through 8th should be focused on local history and local culture. Take the kids on field trips to explore the local society. Local history should be about, why the town was founded. Who founded it. What principals was the town founded on. What historical events caused the town to grow. What industries are currently popular in the town. What cultural events still take place in the town. Or from 6th grade on. Present 1 hour at the beginning of the week and for the reset of the week, discuss, debate, and explore what was watched on monday. Allow the kids to pursue the content on their own. Check in and see how they are making progress. "Tell me about what you watched" Remember, there are no grades or tests. They only need an overall understanding. The goal is to present the world to them so they understand how broad and wide and diverse the world truly is. As you watch the below, take notes on the things that stand out to you. And explain what you take away from all of this. What's the over arching theme or lessons to be learned * link to the entire playlist. Total play time is 18h 37m.

She's just pushing the political nonsense of the current day politics. Rome fell, by her own description that they grew too big and sub divided the nation where the sub rulers over threw the control of Rome.
