I've been thinking about getting into doing traditional song in schools (I have been doing some dance stuff) and was thinking that a lot of the old timeless ballads, though they may fit more into "social studies" than history classes, per se, sure would be interesting -- all that death and destruction is a timeless human thing, evidence that we still don't have it all figured out, and that we're not just recently sinking into some brand new cesspool of immorality that can be blamed on [name your scapegoat]: for example, the Cruel Mother, Edward, etc.
