Thoughts on Teaching History - High School

Regine Pernoud, after laying the groundwork in her thoughts for teaching young children and middle school children, discusses her view of high school history:

"Finally, when the possibility of analysis and abstraction arrives, one could tackle visions of history that are at once more general and much more precise through subjects put back into their chronological and factual framework, by referring to the documents and texts of the period studied...  Textbooks can then be used with much profit, in the class library."

I love that last sentence.
