Oh, but then we would have to rely on the teacher to have the proper perspective!  |
I'm sorry. Are "Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came" or "leaves of grass" history books?
I said "well-rounded and moral."
Last I checked Sherlock Holmes isn't going to help anyone ace a history test nor is it history. It is a fictional account of a fictional person doing fictional and quite illegal things. Guess what? No one will die over Sherlock Holmes.
