Correction on typo, line should read "Majority world has been stagnant for hundreds if not thousands of years"

the more away from God we go the dumber we get as a country. Anyone can see that where the Christian God has been revered the country has prospered. cleverness is not going back to worship 'mother nature' or staring at your belly button.

Tremendos Grayzie,

we're both on the same page of history and reading the same lines. You didn't suggest anything ... I assumed ... wrongly ... sorry. I'm human and occassionally err.

I'm not now sexist though once I was, unknowingly.

Australian history totally ignores the reality of womens contribution.
One fellow by the name of MacCarther, a common soldier of fortune, is creited with being the father of the Australian sheep industry.

Elizabeth, his wife, was the daughter of English farmers. And of course NSW eventually led the world with it's Married Womans Property Act. Had that been in force during the 'rum rebellion', then Elizabeth would have likely received the appropriate kudos.

Vanna you are not quite right about CJ. Be nice to him and give him some credit. He needs it more than most.

I don't buy that Runner.
The vast Majority of Christians live in the third world in varying degrees of poverty.
There are certain truths that really are self evident and it's OK to give voice to them.
A technological focus on history will even further marginalise the non Caucasian "out groups" in society, it's simply not relevant to them. To the Caucasian students further Western technological innovation really can be taken for granted, it's not something they're going to have to consider unless they choose to move away from White society.
An honest study of the complex historical interactions between the different tribes of the world, presented honestly and without bias and cultural relativism is the way to go, we need to inspire curiosity in our children and a desire to embrace multiple points of view.
Asians are the best Asians.
Africans are the best Africans.
Caucasians are the best Caucasians.
There's no need for relativism or objectivity when discussing your history.

C J Morgan,
I detect you are someone who believes they have a big brain, and of course you would be very open to suggestions.

So if you don’t like “Hyperhistory”, then you could always try History Channel.

http://www.history.com/

Most of it has been developed in the US, and if you are an Australian teacher, then you can always subscribe to it using funding grabbed from the taxpayer.

The history of Australian education is past history. Any achievements that have occurred, have actually occurred in the past, with nothing but decline in recent decades.

I’m wondering if Australian history teachers will teach this.

Perhaps they could call it “The Rise and Fall of the Australian Education System”.

The History Channel, vanna/HRS/Timkins et al? Clearly, you're an expert in the field of historical pedagogy - I'm amazed that nobody else has thought of that.

Hell, why do we need schools and teachers at all? Surely all that kids need is a TV and Wikipedia. Think of how much money could be saved...

Why do you hate teachers so much?
