Question: Why does curriculum spend so much more time on wars than on how diseases affect history (Smallpox > "conquest" of Americas, BlackDeath > Renaissance, SpanishFlu > end of WW1)? Maybe cause war is more dramatic, even tho disease is more important. #EdChat @HistoryEd

Why we weren't prepared for #CoVid19. We're focusing on the wrong things
# @Amazon:
-Books:History:World War 1=50,000+
-Fiction WW1=7,000+
-Spanish Flu=348
# deaths @Britannica:
-WW1 military=8.5M
-SpanishFlu=25M-50M
#SpanishFlu 3x-6x more deadly
#WW1 160x more popular

In addition to giving each student the skills needed in their individual careers, a fundamental purpose of schools must be to ensure that every student gains a firm grasp of the concepts needed to effectively participate as a citizen of their country and the world.
