Does history really repeat itself?

I believe that in time, history will eventually repeat itself. I mean, no matter how much you try to avoid having what happened in the past occur...it is yet to happen either way. Do you think it is possible to prevent history from repeating?

Please discuss.

History is a line. Logically it can never repeat itself, considering we can never go back in time. But, things may happen as they did in the past but that's only the way things work.

One of my teachers always told us that 'If you don't pass history, you're forced to repeat it.' I know that's just an elementary school saying, but it's true. If you don't understand or know what happened in the past, then how are you to know to prevent such occurences from taking place?

True?
