There are a great many children in public schools that are much smarter than your children. You actually used the comparison to the "average" public school child so you must realize that. You're making questionable comparisons concerning education in the Politics section and you therefore are obviously not trying to elicit rational answers.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
