Though this historical fact (and millions of others) may not be relevant to your life, here is why it is important. School is not always about direct relevancy, it is also about indirectly relevant skills, like memorization and organization and discipline. The way that you handle tasks in school will train you to handle tasks in life and to prioritize and execute plans and to accomplish necessary but distasteful things. Everything and how we deal with everything is relevant. Amen. – :)
