Our culture does a terrible job teaching our children history. Even before our attempts to change it or erase the achievements of our heroes, we left children adrift, scrambling for some land they could stand on to view the big picture. Sometimes we have done well with particular eras or moments. But even then, these have been divorced from the wider context of history. Without that context, children will have a hard time discerning wisdom from their ancestors and recognizing the returning patterns as they loop back at us.
