History Teacher Rant. . .

This week I taught

George Washington's Presidency.

The precedents he set and the challenges he faced as

the FIRST PRESIDENT.

When it came time to teach his

{Farewell Address}

I was struck by how far we have strayed by his advice.

Take a look,


Is it just me,

or would we be better off

if we had followed his advice?

I'm just sayin'

Man. I don't think we really stuck to any of that. Sad, very sad. Washington was a smart man. I think we would have been better off in most cases. I do think the UN is okay, at least in theory. But I agree with the rest of his ideas!
