Do you get bored in class? Do you ever wonder why teachers rarely cover interesting topics? Do you like playing games? Have you ever wanted to learn to wield a sword? If so, this is the class for you. At Battle School, I will cover the history of warfare. We will discuss the best and worst tactics, maneuvers, and strategies of the past two millennia. We will examine the greatest commanders of all time, see where they succeeded, and how they failed. And then you will have the opportunity to do better. I won't promise that every one of my students will conquer the world. I do promise that every one will have that chance. Come, command armies, best your classmates, make staunch allies and then betray them for your greater glory. Come to Battle School, where learning is fun, and winning is more so.

Have you ever wanted to conquer the world? Ever wondered if you could if you had the chance? Well, here it is. Come, face down like-minded individuals! Vanquish them on the field of battle! Win eternal glory* Oh, and learn some military history while you're at it. *For the duration of 1 class period. Actual results may vary.

Studying warfare is for amateurs. Wars aren't fought in books, they're fought on battlegrounds and across continents. And, in a rare exception to the rule, my classroom. In my class there will be no boring textbooks, no facts memorization, no notes, and no tests. Instead, you will earn your general's stars through simulations of real-world battles and campaigns where YOU command the armies. I cannot promise that all of my students will conquer the world. But I can promise that every one of them will have plenty of chances to do so. So, whether you aspire to conquer the world, or just want to learn the history of warfare in the most awesome way possible, come and attend Battle School!
