The history of English is taught in English classes. Historical context is important and interesting. You don't really understand a subject without knowing a bit of its history.
My favourite classes were those where we didn't just get taught facts and theorems but we also got taught a bit about who proved the theorem for the first time, who discovered this fact, what this algorithm was first used for, etc. So much easier to remember too.
This is one of the best things about studying law: the very nature of it makes it impossible to teach it without the historical context.
The key part to me is the "before they could read". I think the history of computing is probably far more interesting when you have more context as to where that history got us.
they might just remember it all once they're adults!
imagine that!? an historically informed populace???
you'd need more expensive lies and higher quality fakes... the government would be costlier to run.
ideally, in the long term this would make the national currency's value in the international money market rise up. but why wait for that when one can directly manipulate money through trade fraud and covert military ploys?
