[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]

Did I write this?
Yes we did so much on our state.
Then later we spent sooooo much time on WWI (barf. Archduke Ferdinand) that we had to speed through WWII and literally nothing after that. It wasn't until university that I even learned about Johnson, Kennedy, Nixon! Never mind Byzantine empire. Please do bring this up a school board meeting. And also how much influence Greek culture had, how they re-used Roman empire items, and then how it was "turkified". Fascinating stuff. There's a podcast if you're interested[/quote]
