A week? 10 a day? totally doable!
A few hours and it's fun! It's like when I found out that they have a table tennis table here at work.... Every day, after work, me and another guy are hitting that table.... and we stay there for over an hour. In a week, we end up doing more than 5 hours of "practice". But we do maths and programming for most of our work, so we deserve it!
That's my point.... it's equally useless.
I see... 1400's onward...Going through all the cool architecture and music periods, missing the black plague by a few years... then war war war.
In Portugal, we end up learning a lot about the discoveries along the coast of Africa, Brazil, the Americas, and the maritime path to India that then brought cheap(er) spices and other stuff to European markets. Political intrigues in central Europe mean little in comparison (it seems...) so we don't learn much about them... we just go straight to Napoleon and then WW1.
[disclaimer] This is what I remember, from some 20 years ago.... maybe they've changed the curricula a bit to be less Portugal-centric in their teaching of High-school level History... maybe...
50 problems a night, yeah. Sometimes more at the high school level (though my girls aren't there yet).
It's always good to be able to find something fun to relax with! Especially when you're doing hard work all the time.
Yeah, they're both pretty useless as teaching methods.
We spread all over Europe. Covering Napoleon, Peter the Great (one of my favorite subjects) the end of the Romanov Dynasty, The Renaissance, the incestuous Habsburgs (you can tell it's summer, I misspelled Habsburg) The World Wars, the Catholic Reformation, Mary Queen of Scots, Guy Fawkes, The French Revolutions, Oliver Cromwell, Catherine the Great, and so much more.
The whole tone of Church teaching in regard to woman is, to the last degree, contemptuous and degrading. - Elizabeth Cady Stanton
