A Long, Long Tinte Ago While many students were planning for the future, they benefitted from the knowledge gained in their history classes. Anna Majors said, " From what I learned in history class, I know that it affects my daily life more than I thought it did." The majority of history students agreed with her assessment. From the Roman Empire of antiquity to the global community of today, across ages and the seven conti– nents, students studied the important dates and events ofthe world. While the material was not always the most exciting, students found that a knowledge of past events was essential to their well-being, especially af– ter the tragic events of September 11, 2001. No longer did students feel that the content was irrelevant to their futures. As teachers lectured on the past, students saw, as never before, the direct correlation between now and then. 40Academic "In history, I enjoy learning about dif– ferent cultures." -Jessica Deal "I like having an en– ergetic teacher and fun people in class.
