The Costs Are Rising

[L Verge]

If they are no longer giving presentations, there's another lost opportunity to hook people (especially children) on factual history in the setting where it happened. I remember one student from my years of teaching saying to me one day (after a field trip weekend to Jamestown and Williamsburg), "Wouldn't it be cool to have a plane to use so that we could fly to the places we are talking about as we study that history?"

Joseph, you know the history so well that I'm surprised you didn't gather those kids around you and conduct a real history lesson. Of course, the teacher would probably have placed you in detention for ruining the planned time schedule.
