I wish teachers taught like this. He held my interest and remembered what I learned.

I had a college professor who has a similar effect on me, an effect that really stood out for me my whole time I was in school. Whul does it here in this show.

If only teachers were allowed to teach like this outside of a TV special. If someone tried this in a normal class, they'd be fired first day. Sadly, teaching isn't teaching anymore, it's regurgitation of a state standardized curriculum that has been watered down so as to not insult anyone.

The girl at 3:53 looks a lot like one of my classmates in my 5th period highschool class.

Very well styled teacher. I really wonder if he did this original oratory or extemporary speech with notes. It really seems very rehearsed, and I'm guessing mostly original oratory. It's very difficult to just come up with all of this on your feet. A man who knew Bob Hope once told me that Hope couldn't do anything off the top of his head, but he made rehearsed lines seem that way, which was a remarkable ability.

"History is a wonderful thing if only it were true" That quote is sticking with me for a long time after this show

@JillDormanHemperly True. But remember that these are college students and they don't have to sit and listen. But those that engage this way, learned something. Everyone's teaching and learning style is different.

I doubt many people know Israel Bissel was the true rider, my own AP class says it was Revere.
