Teaching history in schools, from elementary to high school level, tended to only the introduction stage, rather than understanding. Students are required to memorize rather than understand. Like memorizing dates of important events, the names of heroes, the contents of an agreement, the names of the war and everything that makes boring subjects of history, even more boring than math for most students.

History becomes something absolute, as if the whole truth as the word of God in scripture. In fact, history itself is only the author perspective. Where authors or chroniclers would certainly have avoided the difficult subjectivity, at least it is reflected from the side where he looked at her. A discussion of an empire, for example, can be viewed from the perspective of economic, political, or even culture and each has a range of variation in the outcome of the conclusion of the kingdom.

Therefore, learning must be deep history. Not only knowing the surface but browse through the base. That way, while studying history would be more fun.
