Two of my favorite people. Unassuming yet compelled to assume by their all encompassing knowledge of thinking out and contemplating the intimate learning and curiosity. Finding jewels in mens souls.I feel so fulfilled by the experience.

Being a History major with a degree in Education, I concur with the opinion that teachers need to be respected much more highly. The wonderful teachers I had made my life for me, I will be forever in their debt because they taught me to love learning.

[@greatmcluhansghost7134]

yes. the reason teachers don't get paid more and more don't educate more students better is there are nefarious forces in our country who don't want intelligent people; they want commodities. Consider India which has more daily newspapers than any country in the world, and how a large portion of India's population have no knowledge of their history. Anyone w/o historical knowledge is more easily exploited.

There's also a class of people called rare book dealers that hardly any of the public know about what they are and what they do. Much research goes into the

Thank you, David McCullough and Charlie Rose!

good program

So optimistic about what a great teacher can do, but the majority of our teaching schools ignore the single factor that defines all great teachers: they love learning and love part of that learning greatly. One proof of love is professional accomplishment, but most states will not let accomplished professionals teach unless they get "official" teaching certificates. Most teaching classes are more focused on latest theories of learning in which love of topic plays no role. Principals should be allowed to easily select professional achievers over certificate holders.

Churchill did not just give the Lion its roar, he pulled Britain's tail so hard the whole world heard the thunder.

Actually, the entire world suffered the proletariat backlash.

I noticed how artfully Mr McCullough avoided any mention of the impact of the Bible in our country’s history. Each of the founding fathers, though not necessarily a believer in Christ, was steeped in scriptural knowledge, not just the classics. Ideas such as the sinfulness of humans, a supernatural creator, individual soul liberty, and the 3 branches of government are all based on biblical concepts.

[@johncollins7062]

The existence of Jesus is so well documented, no founder would be foolish enough to deny that.

[@kaymuldoon3575]

Several of the founding fathers were deists. John Adams was a Unitarian.

[@kaymuldoon3575]

That’s because scriptural knowledge was pounded into them their entire lives, even as very small children. That’s probably not true of all of them. Also, the Bible has a lot is similar stories to multiple religions throughout the world. The Judeo-Christian Bible is not unique by a long shot.

The Queen presumptive made the most important radio address, and the real Queen Consort the two best quotes, of World War Two. It will be a long, long, time before a grateful public forgets that.

[@victorcross5949]

Rose should let the brilliant McCullough speak, instead of interrupting so much. Rose is really a mediocrity and sort of creepy.

Don’t know that Washington made a mistake to split his force. Tell me what a difference it would have made if he had 20,000 troops to receive the cannon of the British 400 ships?
