"England and France said they would fight Hitler if he took land form Poland. Hitler did not believe them. Besides Hitler now had a new friend. Hitler's new friend was the dictator Stalin. Hitler and Stalin said that they were friends and would help eachother. In September, 1939, Hitler made war on Poland."
That is an actual excerpt from my history homeowork. Obviously, this was written for 4th or 5th graders. I'm in 11th. Hitler had a new friend? Come on now. They talk about WWII like it was a game on the playground, & Hitler was the mean bully. Yeah, they actually say "The agreement at Munich is called appeasement. (Appeasement means to give a bully something because he says he will hurt you.)"
He probably didn't read through & realize that this is not meant for our grade level. All he does is give out worksheets & show videos, that's it. He sucks at teaching, and his personality is not too great either. A typical day of his class: review of yesterday's nothingness, 1 page of notes, video clips, handouts, more video clips, then a long boring video. Everyday.
"pathetically lacking in force or effectiveness"-2nd definition of Lame.
