John, you raise a great point.

I'm a high school junior, and this week I had an AP style essay portion for my AP US History class. the topic was Civil Rights/The Cold War/Society in the 50s and 60s. Pretty heavy stuff.

I was very worried about this exam, and I did not feel prepared, even though I studied. So, I put on your three Crash Course videos about those subjects and felt slightly relieved. The ideas of the leaders of the era (particularly those LBJ and his Great Society programs) "clicked" in my mind, and topics that I did not find interesting before (50s society) became much more interesting.

The next morning, I walked into the classroom and churned out the short answer and long essay portion extremely quickly, so quickly that I was the 2nd person finished. It felt easy and effortless. And I believe that your channel was the reason.

The point I am trying to make is that you videos do not and should not act as a replacement for the classroom lecture environment, but rather as a supplement to the classroom. I learned all of the facts about these topics weeks before the test, but it was you that allowed me to better understand their motivations and consequences. Thanks for all your help, Mr. Green.

Oh yes I'd love to hear more if you have them! Thanks so much for the responses!

Have you had a dreams you would consider odd or out of place? Can you describe them if so?

Hi Louis, just got into your videos recently and I'm a big fan!

For your repair technician class you have many people from across the globe take classes with you. What level of experience with this field do you expect from your students? Thanks for doing this AMA!
