Here in the Philippines, our high school history course is divided as follows: Philippine history (Freshman year), Asian history (Sophomore year) and "World" history (really just Europe, the Middle East, and the USA, Junior year). In general, it gave students a broad basic overview of global history, which is nice

However, Asian history sucks dick if you have ultraweeabs in your classroom and the trimester's designated Japanese day/week of lecturs rolls by. Unfortunately for my batch (2008) we had an ultraweeab AND an autist. Like laughs-to-himself-over-nothing, blurts out random shit kind of autist. And holy hell did he make those lectures uncomfortably memorable.
>Prof. lectures by using source material that translates most Japanese terms.
>Autist Weeab supplies the japanese words for most of these: UH SIR I BELIEVE TENNO IS THE JAPANESE WORD FOR EMPEROR. GN-GN-GNAAAH-I THINK THE WORD FOR SHRINE IS X IN JAPANEES? YEAH. OH! THEY CALL US FOREIGNERS GAIJIN! YES!
>Lectures move on to the Samurai, their society, and their wars.
>Autist Weeab does sword-swish sounds and shouts HWAYAAAH whenever the prof. talks of battles.
>Prof. is a great guy and tells Autist Weeab to calm down. Autist Weeab then makes those sounds to himself in audible whispers.
>Japanese religions are discussed. Autist Weeab makes those "ninja chants" complete with hand gestures. Or pretends to meditate like a buddhist monk, cross legging on his chair.
>Prof. talks of the arts during the Tokugawa period, which included Kabuki.
>Weeab abruptly stands up, raises his hands, does a scrunchy face, and shouts that Yooo! sound in Japanese theater and laughs to himself.
>Class becomes ground zero of cringe, professor included.

I remember being automatically uncomfortable during sophomore year every Japanese week rolls. Thank god for the Meiji period and WWII, as Modern Japan lectures shut him up probably due to both the lack of anime from those times and the detailing of Japanese War Crimes.

This whole board, so many ask the same stupid questions over and over and repeat the same historical misconceptions and memes.

My local equivalent is a viking dweeb. Don't have any particular stories, but by god - norse pagan time romanticism is strong in that fellow.

To me it seems that he thinks that only people who lived around the pagan Baltic Sea were exclusively norsemen. He is utterly convinced that every other pagan peoples were in some sort of wooden age. According to him, every single pagan polity was founded by norse settlers who then assimilated into local culture.

According to him, the term "viking" is synonym for "norsemen".

And the comparisons were usually tortorous, because surprise, in a World History class, it just doesn't come up much. So for instance a brief mention about Stoicism as a Greek philosophical movement started off with how they didn't think you should get upset over things outside your control.

But that's not as good as the way Burkina Fasoans do it, because they believe you should always be happy, and if something goes wrong, you should have sex with a friend to feel better!

Yep, grew up in the 5th district. My highschool was in the 13th district not too far from the Asian neighborhood, so around 50% of the kids were minorities. I'd guess something like 25% Asian, 20% Arab, 5% African.

>>1863798

Yep, the history classes are considered one of the better parts of my school too.

I really dislike the school. Its a democratic school which means students vote on policy. This leads to strange things being voted on. For examples you are allowed to skip classes. This leads to not only the teachers being lazy shits, but the students being lazy shits too.

The math classes also tend to have people throwing pens at each other and talking throughout class. People just walk in and out of the classroom as they please. The maths teacher is too timid to control the class at all.

Also I don't know if this is normal but maths classes always have people of different skillsets in them. This means the maths teacher always helps the people already good at maths because the easy maths is boring to him.

It also wasn't that rare for the maths teacher to skip lessons so that he could go larping. fucking larping!

I don't know why I'm sayingthis. But god damn I hated that school.

This is true though. If vikings headed to the coasts of England why wouldnt they go the coast of Finland or the Baltics as well as becoming the founder of the Rus dynasty. Sounds like you are not well-read.

Oh hai.

Well, as >>1864262 has said, it's pretty basic "Facts & Figures." Like, for example: Chinese history is basically a rundown of Dynasties, their notable emperors, notable achievements, and some wars. You can multiple dynasties in a day. But the details of which are like this:

Philippine history is bloody obvious so I won't talk about it. But "Asian History" in Sophomore year, every trimester is largely divided into macroregions.
>South Asia (Largely India. Pakistan comes in the last Trimester with the modern shit)
>East Asia (Largely China, with a week or day on Japan, and on the last two trimesters, one day on Korea. One day on the Mongols, usually coinciding with the Yuan dynasty)
>Southeast Asia.
That is the official curriculum, but our Asian Histo prof was pretty boss and managed to insert a discussion on Central Asia and the Nomad Hordes other than the Mongols like the Scythians and the Turkics.

Meanwhile, "World History" is really just the history of the Europe, Middle East, and the USA, and is divided into Trimesters.
>1st Trimester: discussion on the Greeks, the Romans in Europe. Discussion on the ancient peoples of ME, and the Persian Empire. Medieval ages & Rise of Islam follows.
>2nd Trimester: Mongol Invasions, Renaissance, & Enlightenment in Europe. Rise of the Ottomans. A day on American history from Revolution to Civil War.
>3rd Trimester: Napoleon & Industrial Revolution in Europe & America. Age of Imperialism & the decline of the Ottomans. WWI, WWII, Cold War.

Not quite as dumb a question as it sounds because the 17th century was an era where the Dutch were traveling all over the world and modeling people in paintings based off their observations, but still.

viking actualy comes from the saying "going on viking" which means to leave ones home with the intention of returning with wealth. This doesn't nesseary mean going looting, as some people who went on viking went trading(most known cases are looting obviously). But saying viking is a synonym for norsemen is just plain wrong, as many nordic chiefdoms/kingdoms had huge viking issues themself.
What you are doing is basicly saying each shark is a fish so shark is a synonym for fish.

>intervened
key word, anon, your professor was probably not actually wrong, depending on how you interpret "The US never intervening"

Most every war the US fought before WW1 had something very specific and direct to the US or US national interests from the beginning.
The start of WW1 involved problems that had nothing to do with the US, and it wasn't until well after WW1 made itself the United States' problem did the United States intervene in favor of the Entente. Everything before that was either specific to US territory, US territorial claims, US domestic politics, pre-superpower US attempts to expand its own power & wealth, territory close by to the US that could badly impact pre-superpower US national security if it fell into the wrong hands, or somebody fucking with Americans.

I get the feeling you misunderstood what your professor was saying, made an ass out of yourself in class responding to something the professor didn't say, and are now posting on 4chan making it seem like you really did know more than your professor when you really didn't.

I plan on majoring in history and was wondering what kind of jobs I could get. Are a majority of the students that speak out in class this insufferable? I'm from the USA and I'm learning at a community college. Sorry that this isn't completely related, but it doesn't warrant its own thread.

There's one story that still really gets on my nerves when I think about it:
>In junior year Social Studies Methods course for edu majors
>Assigned into groups for project where we need to create a lesson that we'll teach to the class eventually
>My group decides to do a lesson on debating support and criticism for the dropping of the atomic bomb on Japan
>Working in the library one day with group and we're just doing some preliminary research on our laptops
>Find a Pew poll from a few years back that covered US & Japanese relations
>Just sort of reading some of the graphs out loud to the group as I scroll through the page
>Mention one question that asked Japanese people whether Japan had apologized enough for its actions during WW2, needed to apologize more, or if no apology was necessary
>One of the girls in my group acts surprised at the entire premise of the question saying something along the lines of "The US was WAY worse than Japan during World War 2"

Now look, I get that there's no way to objectively quantify a question like "Who was worse during such and such event", but I cannot for the life of me conceive of any reasonable measurement you could use to reach her conclusion. What really gets me though isn't what she said, it's that she's teaching history to students just like I am. Something about it all just really pissed me off at the time and still annoys me to this day.

No it was all secondary in that class. And the thing is, she was very interested in history, not like some of edu majors where history sorta just falls into their laps. I'm trying not to sound like a complete prick and I'm not just doing this to bash bleeding heart liberals (I mean my politics fall somewhere center-left), but she really was insufferable. I remember in another edu class we had senior year she briefly mentioned some self-congratulatory story of how the teacher she was doing field work with praised her for telling her students that Andrew Jackson was a dick, saying something like "You're the only one I've seen who will tell the students stuff like that." It wasn't that I'm some Andrew Jackson fanboy, it really had nothing to do with him in particular. It was that she seemed to have this sense of intellectual superiority just because she didn't blindly support whitewashed history.

I mean, yeah Jackson was a dick, but to just say that or to give your students just that impression of him (or other historical figures/events/etc.) for that matter is a terrible disservice to both them and their understanding of history. If you can't teach the many nuances of history I don't think you deserve to be a teacher.

>>1870564
Yeah I agree. A lot of my history classmates were pretty biased, I don't think all of them would've taught in a biased way but I'm sure some do. It's a shame since I see one of the major points of teaching history is learning to gather evidence and argue for an opinion that has a legitimate antithesis and if you make it completely one sided it reduces the critical thought around those kinds of topics.

Exactly, I know that I'll always let my some of my biases slip into my teaching, that's just unavoidable, but the end goal of teaching a debateable lesson in history or social studies is to present as much relevant information for differing sides as you can to the students and let them form their own conclusions.

Like for instance I've done a lesson on the debate over the atomic bombings every year so far with my students. Now personally, after careful thought and consideration, I wholeheartedly support the decision to use the bombs. But when I teach the lesson I don't tell the students my stance until the very end and I try to always play devil's advocate and bring up as many good counterpoints against the decision as I can whenever students argue that they support the bombings. Who knows, I may still be doing a terrible job and only think I'm adequately fostering a neutral discussion, but I do know that I'm at least making an attempt at it unlike I feel that girl would.

I get that it's minutia, not important to the grand scheme of things, and that we were teaching to a class of kids who had no interest in history or school in general since practically none of them were going to college, but even if you are going to give an incredibly simplistic take on American history like we had to for those kids it can't hurt to at least get the minor details right.

>>1868244
This kind of shit makes me so miserable, because you just know the teacher had to explain this to multiple classes before she started doing it preemptively.
Speaking of retarded kids

Five years of Latin.
Almost a third of his life at that point.
And still, the most basic form of verbs eluded him.
After years in which the teachers droned on about how to recognize the conjunctive, how it was discrete from the indicative, the meaning still eluded him.

Also, in the same year, he asked at one point what a "betrekkelijk voornaamwoord" was, if there's any Dutchie on here with better English, tell me the actual term because I have no clue whatsoever, but it's used when referring back to something said previously, so something like "(the person) who/(the thing) that" sort of thing, with the bits between brackets being in the previous sentence.

It was fucking painful.

You could get into Law School with a history major.

Maybe it's just a Texan thing, but I was always taught, "Believe what you believe, but keep your mouth shut and get that A+"

Why do people feel the need to talk back to a teacher? What's the point? What are they trying to do? Do they think it endears them to the class or something?

>>1870782
Asking questions is a good thing even when dumb. I had a student ask me a fuvk ton of stupid questions but she cleared shit up doing that.

"Viking" was a profession, not an ethnicity. Basically every people that lived on the shores of the Baltics had their own groups that lived the Viking lifestyle.

To other peoples, the nations of Baltics were virtually indistinguishable, so they just lumped them as Norse. In reality, it seems that for example Slavs made their way to Iceland along with Norse as freemen rather than thralls, as evidenced by archaeological finds.

Afrikaans speaker here. A betreklike voornaamwoord (same thing except Afrikaans) is a relative pronoun, so stuff like "who" "which " and "that" in Englsh: words which refer to a noun or pronoun also present in the sentence (eg " the thng that", where that is the relative pronoun and refers to the noun "the thing." In Afrikaans it would be "die ding wat" where "wat" is the b.vnw.)

Not him (I'm also a Yank) but George III had variegate porphyria which caused him to be be pretty incompetent and not command much respect. Most Brits at the time would not have liked or respected him, just the title he held.

Moreover, the House of Hanover were purely figureheads. George I didn't speak English and almost never visited. His descendants became Anglicized but the first four Georges owed Parliament their title and no problem letting Parliament run the show.
