I'm teaching grad class Teaching History now, mostly working K-12 teachers & one of the top takeaway ideas we keep returning to & reinforcing is that history is not an agreed-on body of knowledge (i.e. it doesn't iterate towards consensus and completion), but a constant argument w/ new questions, new evidence, new approaches to old evidence. Constant revision. That's a feature not a bug.
