Not to say history is not important, but it is nice to be in a class and discuss history, in my opinion.
My daughter was the only history student in her final year. The IB coordinator went to great pains to make sure I knew that the school had made sure she always felt safe with the male teacher (this was never a concern for us, but the right thing for them to do). Classes were held in a glass wall room in the library for example. The coordinator then went on to say “And it must be so hard to do history without enough people for a proper discussion... my husband is a retired history professor, I nearly had him come in to join her classes, I think those three would get along so well... but then I realized she’d then be the only student in a class with TWO middle aged/old men, so I didn’t.”
But certainly there are some subjects were group discussion is great and history is one.
