*When in doubt, blame us Brits. We'll probably call you a w**ker, kick you a few times in extremely private areas and leave you in a gutter, but you'll have blamed us!*

Well, i do not know what you have in canada, but in israel history lessons sucks.
The ww3 (!) was won by americans all alone (!!), stalin was an idiot and sat in syberia (!!!) for al the time when hitler was in moscow (!!!!).
This is how ww2 is been taught.
That is the level of teaching. heavens! [img]graemlins/1puke.gif[/img]

if it was not for russian jews in israel and a few decent teachers we all would have been with such marvellous education.

But In russia it is even better.
Listen to these pearls: Michail sergeevich lenin-the last prime minister.
Ivan the terible-what is that?
The ww2 began in....trrrrrrrrrr.... 9.5.1941, Tada, tada, tadaaaaa [img]graemlins/1puke.gif[/img]

I heard that most of the usa residents do not remember all the states by name. is it true?
It seems that the education falls everywhere to the 9 hells.

Actually the term most would be inaccurate Baron. I would agree that there are many though. Even I would take some time to remember every single state. Now if you look for US citizens who know all the states and their respective capitols (or was it capitals; I can never remember that) that's a whole other story. But anyways, the US is the pits when it comes to education among the major powerhouse nations. Japan, England, all of them are typically seen as better off educationally than the americas.

Japanese? I thought it was Brazil? Hmm guess my history teacher was waaaay off!

Anywho Kat, I think the error is not so much education as age.

[img]smile.gif[/img] I know Jaquie hasn't started taking proper history lessons yet but she's only eight. Ask me in 5 years. [img]graemlins/blueblink.gif[/img]
