In my experience as an American, I've learned the same thing in multiple years, we kind of just chose a point to stop at and did that for our entire god damn school year, never moving on. We could have talked about so much interesting history, but no, we need to talk about WW2 and completely gloss over most other things for the 12th year in a row

For christs sakes I was learning FRACTIONS AND DECIMALS IN MY SENIOR YEAR

Are you sure you weren’t in a remedial school? lol

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

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