“History is always written by the victor" - a thought that often crosses my mind when it comes to how history is taught in schools. I believe in the importance of understanding historical events from all perspectives, not just the winners. Let the student come to their own conclusion; we don’t all have to think the same.
How will today's current events be portrayed in future history books? The divisive nature of modern politics makes it unlikely that either side would share the other's perspective if given the chance.
