      That goes for most any subject.  You have to have a love of any subject   
   to be a good teacher.     
      Some just read from the book.  Poor teachers.   
      Others will make whatever the subject happens to be come alive.  Good   
   teacher.

     I like to start at one point and carry that forward, rather than hop   
   skipping around:  This/that event caused whatever to happen which lead to...   
      IOW putting things into perspective.

     Often the two go together.   
     History reflecting the place/society of the time.   
     What people thought as well as what they did.  One often explains the   
   other.   
     Sort of like people believed X because society thought Y.     
     And why some people rejected what society thought and changed history.   
     I went to parochial school and often taught by Jesuits who brought   
   philosophy into most everything they taught.  Not deep scholastic teaching but   
   to   
   just think things through for the "why" of history.  Not just this or that   
   happened why did it happen then a   
        
   > these events & people all lived somewhere & geography often shapes history,   
      
     Agreed.   
      
   > plus I play a lot of trivia games & I'll pick Geography over History,   
   usually. (I plaY more to learn than to win)\   
      
      When Trivia Pursuit was a popular game people refused to play with me   
   since I won so often.   
      I have a head full of "useless" information.
