When my daughter graduated, one of her final essays was on the Revolutionary war. She passed with flying colors. Her essay ENDED at Revere’s ride.
I asked her where the rest was.
“That’s all they taught us”.
Now she did know more, and I went into great detail with her teaching her the rest. But it just goes to show what passes for education today. I had ALL of the RevWar in 7th grade.
Heck you can learn more just from watching the old “Schoolhouse Rock” snippets they used to show on Saturday Mornings, than you learn in school these days.
