It has decent moral teaching in it...and shows how staying positive is key to happiness and success.I'm not sure if this is considered a rule of life,.. but it sure is a darn good philosophy.What do you think @Heart2Soul?

It's almost biblical!
It's darkest before dawn but the sun will come out tomorrow!
I used to work with this lady who liked to say, "It's always darkest before it's totally black!"
Mine too.Math is and always has been one of my worst subjects.
I'd say one of the things I've learned is one form of teaching doesn't fit everyone. You can learn more on your own if you know your learning style. Yours is probably close to mine - kinesthetic/tactile. (I am NOT good at sports so don't expect EVERY part to be the same.
LOL) 
I'm not super in love with coding or math... LOL. I'd rather just be a homemaker and throw it out the door, but I want some kind of skill to fall back on/gives me emotional security. It does relax me when I have time.
We're studying the 1400s and Columbus is in this part. (I'm homeschooling) My 12-year-old was whining and got bored, so I've included all of the juicy gossip about him being a con. They leave out all of the good stuff in school or people would be super interested.
Nobody ever talks about every store being sold out of black fabric in one city during Abraham Lincoln's death, while people were mourning in the streets, during a time when women were rioting and looting the stores for bread because they were starving to death.
Nobody will tell you that the George Washington cherry tree story was a myth or that Benjamin Franklin was a little bit of a crude sketchy dude.
If you have the whole story and not the school safe parts, you have like the greatest gossip/reality TV show story ever almost every time.
They leave all out all of the good stuff.

I think if that's your conviction, you should stick with it, but I have to teach US History. I'm just not going to teach it to fit the agenda and I'm going to tell the truth. A lot of our heroes just aren't or they made mistakes, and that's part of a story that belongs in the story. There's no perfect people.
Maybe lying to kids and making them think these were totally perfect people that did amazing things without any imperfections at all is messing them up more by setting impossible standards. They are unrealistic - and we know they weren't, because they weren't all true.
Personally, I think you might be reading into it a little bit too much, but if that's on your heart then you should stick to it.
God bless America, but there was only one perfect hero.
