What exactly doesent he like about it? Is it that he want's more hands on stuff? Or he just isn't interested in the subject matter? Does he need more colorful pictures? I know almost every day with SOTW there is something from the story that I can Google and let my kids look at pictures. It makes it more real to them. We've looked at China's Grand Canal, Pagodas, The Great Wall, Viking long boats, Pyramids, Lions on Jerusalem's walls put there during the Middle Ages, Aztec monuments, Globe theater..........the list goes on and on.
I often will suppliment SOTW with a short book on the same subject just to give varity. I've even found interesting movies at the library on different countries written especially for children.

I think it would be wise of you to speak with your husband about this sort of “history.” I feel that having your child exposed to these notorious heathen cultures could be a dangerous potential for demonic activity in your household.
Whatever happened to good Ol’ U. S. of A. History? Other than biblical history that is all the history I feel my kids need.

Ok, let's see here, humans have lived as a civilization for about 10,000 years. However, PTK thinks American history, something no more than about 400 years, is somehow more important than the rest of the world. Thanks PTK it's people like you who give us Americans a bad reputation.
Um.... I hate to break it to you PTK, but American wasn't a country until long after these so-called "heathen cultures" built these fabulous monuments. Fuck, the pyramids were built long before your mythical Jesus. Oh, but then your dumb ass was probably homeschooled, huh?
I live in a foreign country. It's people like you, PTK, that cause people here to be surprised when they find out that I am American because Ah ain't stupit and ignert like y'all.
Ignorance is a thing to be ashamed of, PTK, not something to proudly pass on to your children.
PTK,, I hate to break it to you, but your good Ol' U.S. of A. is wearing a pretty tarnished crown these days. No, it's not Satan's work, it's the combined effort of a series of incompetent Presidents and twits like yourself.
PTK, your kids are not going to be ready to become productive members of the workforce when they get older. Teach them about the world!
And stop giving the rest of us Americans a bad name!
Okay, kids, that's enough history. Today I am going to homeschool you in conversational English. Repeat after me: "Would you like fries with that?"
Oh, and a good reason to teach world history is that America is repeating the mistakes of past civilizations.
"demonic activity in your household."
If you don't want to see demons, just don't be a fundie. They are the only ones who see them, are thrown across rooms by them, feel them grunting or snarling or hiccupping or whatever it was, etc. Of course, they are the only ones serenaded by their lovely saxophone music, but you'll have to decide which matters more to you.
Yeah, don't show your kids things that are well over 4000 years old! Your head might implode.
US history from my POV. A bunch of pale faced, sickness bringing Europeans came over, slaughtered/decimated the tribes of people already living here, and then had the gall to claim the 'discovered' an already populated country. And ya did the same damned thing to the Hawaiians!
So your kids only need to learn about a 2000 year old book that is not proven, and the history (your version, I am sure) of a country that is technically 232 years old? Um, how do you explain the culture of the United States; where the people, other than Native Americans, of the United States come from; the history of heathen cultures that lead people to this country in the first place?
I feel so bad for your children. They will be sorely prepared for any kind of life once they leave your control.
Ignorance is not bliss.
notorious heathen cultures eh...
I'll take that as a compliment.
Besides my notorious heathen ancestors had the best boats in Europe at the time.

Child: Mommy, where did America come from?
PTK: God made it from nothing 232 years ago.
Child: Mommy, where did all the other countries come from?
PTK: They are the work the devil! DON'T EVER SPEAK OF THEM AGAIN OR YOU WILL BURN IN HELL FOR ALL ETERNITY!!
Die in a fire you Americocentric piece of shit.
Guess what? The rest of the world, Turks and Vikings especially, should do some serious punishment on these idiots!
Man the longboats and dhows! we'll come for a payback!
American history is the only good history? Why? Because there's--supposedly--less murder in American history than in other countries?
This fundie's so fucking off the wall that she even has the others at RR going "WTF?".
"I think it would be wise of you to speak with your husband about this sort of “history.” I feel that having your child exposed to these notorious heathen cultures could be a dangerous potential for demonic activity in your household."
Is there nothing that's not heathen or a "potential for demonic activity" to you people?
"Whatever happened to good Ol’ U. S. of A. History?"
Nothing. But what do you teach for the first few thousand years of human history until the U.S. was established?
"Other than biblical history that is all the history I feel my kids need."
Biblical history. Yeah, that's a good one. Very funny indeed.
@celeritas
And don't forget that before the US was a colony of the "heathens" it belonged to the (distinctly not christian) indians.
Still, I suppose it would make the history corriculum quite a bit easier to deal with, only having to worry about things from 1776 onwards
American history for homeschoolers:
1775: America is invented when George Washington and Jesus drive the European heathens back to their homeland with M16 fire.
1861: Negros start a war and win with Satan's help.
1918: America saves the world from the Nazis (version 1.0).
1929: Something terrible happens with the economy. Probably because of the Jews.
1945: America saves the world from the Nazis again. (version 2.0)
1950: The gates of Hell creak open and winged communists soar out, craving the flesh of Christian children.
1964: Negros cause trouble again. Liberal use of water cannons seems to solve the problem.
1970: Homosexuality is invented by David Bowie.
2001: Saddam Husein, Osama Bin Laden, the ACLU and Barrack Obama destroy the World Trade Centre, causing more death and destruction than anything that has happened anywhere, ever.
2008: Rapture happens.
Don't forget the slaughter of Native Americans and virtual elimination of their rich, and varied, cultures. After all, it's still one of the most successful genocides ever. Shouldn't every child learn what "winners" Europeans are?
So, there youhave it: the reason why most of americans re-elected that idiot of GWB: "Other than biblical history that is all the history I feel my kids need." If they knew what a "pretestous war" was and how to find out if a war was pretestous, by stundying some foreign ones, for instance, they would have seen it coming and killed the idea long before it was born.
Dr Whom:
"Oh, and a good reason to teach world history is that America is repeating the mistakes of past civilizations."
Never mind that, America is repeating the mistakes of last year.
Thank you, thank you, PTK! I've been trying to get 'demonic activity' started at my house forever to no avail. But now, with your suggestion, I shall finally have results!
@Rufus
Yup, good call. The first thing that came to mind for me though was, 'Bitch, you don't get away with calling The Globe Theater and The Wailing Wall irrelevant'.
Putting it in context however, methinks he/she would call the history of the Native Americans also irrelevant. Can't win with a mindset like that. X_x
@ Septic Sceptic:
Funny (as always) and yet sadly accurate.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I must give my thanks to David Bowie. Speaking of which, who assisted him in his inventing of homosexuality? He surely couldn't have done it alone.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
