You bring up a deeper point. If teachers just say "these things happened," they aren't really teaching anything at all. It's one of the reasons kids grow up hating history, because they aren't really taught history, which is not about disconnected events and dates, but about relationships, and patterns, and the "rhyme" that unites recurrent themes.

Of course, you tailor the subject to the student. You don't teach a kindergarten child about the Tusla Massacre.
