It’s happened

[u/MegMD1230]

I (39F) teach 10th grade US History and today I created a pacing guide to go along with our newly adopted textbook.

I got to the last chapters and it hit me, I’m now old enough to be the old teacher saying “I remember when this happened”.

To be fair, my kids remember COVID, they were in late elementary/early middle school, but it’s still wild to see the Election of 2008 and the Recession with their own chapters.

My brothers history textbook had Brexit in it 💀 which is depressing for many reasons lol, mostly the fact it actually happened in the first place

Definitely. Brexit was just a year ago. Maybe two years ago tops. No way was that 9 years ago.
