Does history need to be learned?

History is one of the most important things you learn in school. I fell everyone should learn it. Why not learn it? It tells us how our country was formed, it tells you about your family ancestors,how some inventions came to be, how the country was nearly destroyed, and how we came to be in this place called america. I do not understand how students dislike, or get bored. Wouldn't you want to learned about things that could have affected your life,or even existence? So yes history does need to be learned, show the students who dislike or get bored that it is fun and exciting!
