Jud Sage is the main person behind SAGE history.





if you read this you may be able to understand what some of it is about. it must be his own take on history, and the ability to reasearch history free of charge, online

Reply:"Sage" is more than just a plant. If you read the second definition in the dictionary, it is also, "a mentor in spiritual and philosophical topics who is renowned for profound wisdom," and "having wisdom that comes with age and experience ."





Might be something to do with that second definition.

Reply:SAGE is probably an abbreviation, though never encountered that term when I was in middle school. Although I'm pretty sure that's "not" an AP class. I don't think they offer AP classes in middle school. It's probably just an honors or accelerated class. AP American History is normally offered to Juniors (11th graders) and I remember taking the AP exams around May. (Been a while since HS, sorry).

It's just a class for the smarter students, like Honors classes, but in elementary and middle school.
