<p>No, I don’t think it helps to expose the material earlier. I think having an extra class in Shakespeare or on the War of Northern Aggression or American Authors would be better.</p>
<p>true, but studying individual authors or time periods insulates the student from understanding any sort of historical/literary patterns, such as the similarities of the fall of the Roman Empire and the USSR</p>
<p>Ture,
But with a good background of the individual authors and time periods, college comparison is much easier and more advanced. That is the purpose, I think, of a good secondary education.</p>
<p>Then we differ in opinion. I view that a good overview and understanding en general are the foremost duties of a secondary education. It is to post-secondary education to delve deeper into the intricacies of Solidarnosc strikes at Gdansk.</p>
