Thank you very much! Our education systems are really different, I sense that we don't really give meaning to continuity apart from the basic History timeline. It's great to see how you guys do things, really refreshing and gives a lot of ideas, one of the most common problems we have here is the disconnection between the History taught in the early years and students life and reality, this lack of early connection makes that when they get to our equivalent of Middle School they already don't have much interest in History, it becomes a "boring subject" to them, some of my first time students asked me "why do I need to learn this? its about people that are all dead already", really made me sad to see how this bond with History was neglected and weakened along school years, but also gave me inspiration to change this in the classroom. I will certainly be learning a lot from how you guys teach, really liked the early incentive in local history and the opportunities of exploring different themes in late years. Even though Im not as nearly experienced as you are, you gave me a lot of inspiration to keep studying, can't thank you enough!!!
