What would you teach if it was up to only you?

Hi teachers! So growing up I always loved history but by eighth grade I was pretty frustrated that it would always be "native Americans, Columbus, revolutionary war, build up to civil war, little black history, little Holocaust, maybe we get back to the civil war, whoops the year's over." And recently I've been seeing that a lot of other people online saying they had the same experience.

So I'm wondering two things:

  1. Does the school board/state/etc have a lot of say over what you teach? Like, are you guys basically being forced to follow this curriculum?

  2. If you had full say over how you would teach your history course, how would you do it?

PS: I guess I'm asking this question from a US centric point of view, that's just the system I grew up but I'd love to hear from everyone

I was curious how you guys felt about having toggle crouch in Assassin's Creed. I personally have some mixed feelings on it. On the one hand, I like stealth games in general so I enjoy getting to sneak around, whistling, going from waist high obstacle to waist high obstacle. On the other hand, I do agree with the idea that it moved the stealth in the series into more traditional/less interesting direction, which kind of leads to the phasing out of social stealth in general.

So what do you guys think?
