Does anyone have a good photo of Edsel Ford? (historical or modern)
=Humanities
I was distressed to read that the Humanities program was discontinued. As a graduate of Edsel Ford, the Humanities program was the most challenging class that all students are asked to complete. And, as someone with a BA in History/Humanities and an MA in English, it was the course that best prepared me for college. I was lightyears ahead of my fellow freshmen when it came to English/History/related social sciences because of my high school humanities program. And, at low points in my life, the appreciation I gained for instrumental music and fine arts, as well as literature, saw me through difficulties. Having worked with high school students where I live now, I pity them because all their learning is geared to memorization and the test rather than any appreciation of any of who we are or who they are as people.
