Consider the following situation:<\/p>\n
Your obedient LDS son or daughter will shortly be writing the final exam in ‘History of the Americas’, a first year university coarse.<\/p>\n
The review materials indicate that a potential question on the exam may be on the topic of ‘Please describe the impact of the horse and gun on the societies of the aboriginal American inhabitants.’<\/em><\/p>\n Said son or daughter feels like this is a good time to correct the many errors in the history book she bought for the coarse and plans on ‘taking a stand’ and filling in the instructor on how horses and chariots pre-dated the Spanish arrival in the Americas, and thus the ‘arrival’ of horses with the Spanish had no effect whatsoever.<\/p>\n How do you council your child to behave during the exam Should they just write what the marker wants to see? Should they take a stand against the obvious lies in the history book? Is there any middle ground?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
