How can we make history, as a subject, great again ?
I remember when i was in school. All the way from age 13-18, ( I am 20 now )
98% of the people i had in my class and around school, disliked history. It was boring to them, and they thought it was unnecessary and didn't have any real life value. "it's the past, omg, why do we have to learn about it ".
Is it the lack of good history teachers that makes "history" boring ? That the subject is only "associated" with old men? Or is "history" just a subject you need to have a real interest in, for you to enjoy it ?
Can we have a discussion on this ?
People just want memes these days.

Normies will always be fundamentally uninterested in anything that doesn't involve sports or fucking Chad/Stacey. We're always going to be the ones in the back of the class who are the only ones who care about the lesson.
I believe you are so right. I hated history until I had a teacher at the time I thought I hated. She was so passionate and I learned so much from her. I think the lack of good history teachers is the fact that... What is our real history. With all the deception that goes into it, how could you teach it with a straight face. Just my opinion and that can get you fired or even killed now a day's

Considering things may have to evolve to be alive, maybe history should evolve too then ?
Personally i think it becomes silly to include "memes" in history lessons, to downplay certain scenarios with memes. But maybe this is what is needed to keep history alive? Aslong as the base information is correct, would "memeing" some parts, like someones name for example, or something like that, be wrong. To keep things interesting for the newer generations

because the way history is taught in most modern institutions is just begging to be disliked. It's either pointless memorization and recitation of tidbits and facts, ideological indoctrination, or just tries to make you feel guilty for being white

It definitely has something to do with the teaching method. I had one teacher whose style was pretty much: show them a movie or documentary at least once a week but usually more often than that, make them color in some historical scenes, make them popcorn read and read to them in funny voices, throw a longer lecture in there every 2 months for good measure.
And desu it worked. I had a habit of skipping but it made me really want to attend school just so I wouldn't miss out on the first half of whatever cool movie he'd have us watch.
