Define 'best' in the construction 'best social studies class'? Learned the most? Most fun? Coolest teacher?

All of the above, but I only have my other high school history/geography classes for comparison.
So... sorry to be a spoilsport but if

(1) The aforementioned class was the one in which you learned the most AND (2) Your teacher told you to read Howard Zinn if you wanted to learn something IMPLYING (2') Your teacher didn't think you were learning anything

Then mustn't we conclude (3) You didn't learn learn anything in your high school social studies classes

?

Yes, that would be the logical conclusion.
Just checking ;-)
