      I will admit the reason my last two years were such a stark contrast to my previous years was because I went from honors down to basic because I went to a vocational high school, Diamond Oaks, and they only had the base classes

      But still I never want to have another history class on WW2 again, I don’t mind learning the era but I’ve relearned the same thing over and over again

        American schools cover the civil and 2 great wars because those were the last times we were arguably the good guys. Every war since has been a conflict we started by meddling or we had no good reason to be there

          lol and saying “we” were the good guys in the civil war implies that we were also the bad guys, so that one cancels.

        When your history class is written by the same folks responsible for the History Channel circa ~2002-2010.
