"History is to the nation what memory is to the individual...a nation ignorant of its history is like a person without a memory" - Arthur M. Schlessinger, Jr.

For those dissatisfied with the bare-bones, one-size-fits-all, cookie-cutter history and government classrooms of today, Standards Plus History Academy is an alternative.
For those objecting to "teaching" or "learning" to a state test, Standards Plus History Academy is a complementary resource, building out the state standards with historical context, cause-and-effect, and backstories - all the stuff that makes history and government interesting...and relevant. And sadly, all the stuff that cannot be covered in today's classrooms because of time and content constraints that flow out of state tests.
If you are a student or teacher and truly want more, Barry Jones will provide it.
