[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In middle and high school history, in the 1980s, we spent hours and hours on the French & Indian War (because we had local historical sites), and never studied anything that happened past the Korean War. I always wanted to have a formal presentation of the Vietnam War. But it was probably "too soon" for our community. I think the rise of AP classes has given my kids better historical analysis skills than my long ago honors classes. But they also don't know much post-WW2 history.[/quote] I agree with OP. More ancient history is preferable because recent issues are not that historical. Plus, this is so easy to fix by watching some documentaries. Ken Burns on Vietnam is captivating and taught by someone much better than the average public school teacher.[/quote]
