What is the value of learning "history"?

"History is not cyclical, nor is it a series of unconnected events. It is a study of the decisions and actions of people acting in obedience or disobedience to God's pattern for living and the consequences that result from their actions."
Richard J. Edlin, The Cause of Christian Education, p.69. Vision Press, 1998
Agree or disagree?--A bright, gifted, committed Christian teacher in the public schools cannot teach history in a way that leads students to wisdom.

I would like to think that God can work through committed Christians in the public schools and be modern day Daniels, Josephs, and Esthers. Teaching in the public schools versus Christian schools looks different, granted.

I'd like to read something from someone I can trust. How about a weekly post for now?
