Kick this subject out of my syllabus, today !

I have always thought about this, and now I want to share my thoughts with you. Do you like history? You may think it interesting but the fact is that it doesn’t have ANY use.

What was done in the past, where it was done, why it was done, who followed it, who started things, who built monuments are some common questions in history. If we think logically, then it’s a super…………..duper……………waste of time . Our elders teach us to forget about the past, think about the present and work hard for our future. I’m sure you have heard this. Then, why do they teach us about the past. History is all about past.

In my school, teachers focus more on History, then on Geography and then on Civics. And you know Civics is the most important! Maybe it’s a little boring but you know it’s important . And Geography tells us about the world. Civics and Geography both are useful because they are all about the present and the future. And History is all about the most boring four letter word which is made up of P,A,S and T, and pronounced as past !

Another problem with history is that we don’t learn it, we cram it. Why ? I’ll tell you. It’s because……………..those silly names of the rulers and places are complicated. There was a name of a place this year in the first chapter of my history textbook which was ‘Gangaikondacholapuram’. Now how did I learn it? Well I didn’t learn it, I crammed it. That’s the problem ! Another example, when I was in 4^th class I came to know that Shah Jahan had a son who put him in jail. His name is Aurangzeb. Now answer me how can I learn it. I had a big problem in learning it. But mad me, I still loved History. The people, who cram in every subject, find that history is easy. But, people like me, who understand and learn every subject thoroughly, will find it difficult to learn History. So, we have to cram it.

You know what ? Till I was in 5^th class, I loved SST. In 6^th class, I changed my opinion and found that SST is super boring and I don't like it. But when I came in 7^th, I came to know why I hated SST so much. It’s because of History. I think SST is a nice subject, but history is super boring and it’s not cool and far from useful. We can say English is cool. Science is cool. Maths is cool. And these three subjects are useful. No way I am gonna kick these subjects. You know, I never got to see the positive side of History. If you hate history like I do, I bet you know how I feel. But, If you love history then do tell me how you do this .

I would like to conclude by saying, that History is a subject which I never loved, don’t love, and may never love. And the reason is that there’s no point of learning it. PAST is  not useful, really. I had great pleasure in sharing with you all, and if you are a student who feels the same about history, then it’s a HIGH FIVE !
