Yeah, we are long past time for something like that. My philosophy for years now has been that it's time to introduce some politician and billionaires to some classic French technology.

Agreed. History is really important and should be taught in more detail.

Absolutely agreed.

My elementary school taught early U.S. history (colonial era, Pilgrims.) Middle school taught ancient history (the Fertile Crescent, ancient Egypt, etc.)

My high school taught one (1) year of world history.

Then two more years of U.S. history.
