World History, "What's It All About.", Harold E. Barto
World History, "What's It All About.", Harold E. Barto

Others contend that poor teaching is the greatest obstacle. Obviously, both views have some merit. However, there is another reason that is not generally given that may come nearer reaching the source of the trouble. It may be that the starting point in World History is too far removed from the student's interest.
