What a shame and what a privelege we have to introduce our children to interesting historical characters from all around the world :).<br /><br />WendyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10926562.post-34122277382807229292010-08-31T09:24:09.750-05:002010-08-31T09:24:09.750-05:00Good things to think about - thanks.

Reading OIS has been fabulous for us! So much I am learning (and hopefully the kids are too). I love how, eventually, world history and American are weaved together with the British.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10926562.post-76867947250291670872010-08-31T08:31:20.162-05:002010-08-31T08:31:20.162-05:00Unless I am mistaken, American history begins with...Unless I am mistaken, American history begins with British history. :)<br /><br />I have not found AO to be too "British" at all. I think most Americans overdo the American history...or what my boys lovingly call "war history"....American Revolution, Civil War, WW1 and WW2. <br /><br />Thanks for the great read this morning.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02565810011908156870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10926562.post-89348841828437589542010-08-29T22:14:17.863-05:002010-08-29T22:14:17.863-05:00"Nobody can teach or learn everything there i..."Nobody can teach or learn everything there is about everything." Absolutely. Some people are so afraid of gaps as if gaps are the worst thing possible. Not so. Gaps are inevitable.<br /><br />Thanks for submitting to the carnival!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09628472484731723590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10926562.post-63882206281525396672010-08-27T10:08:12.853-05:002010-08-27T10:08:12.853-05:00I appreciate your blog.

Of course as Aussies we alway hear the complaint that AO is too American, not British enough, but I have always found adapting it for Australian content pretty easy...so far.<br /><br />Thanks for writing this,Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09573473465011631325noreply@blogger.com
