Today, I had to explain to one of my high school students that the importance of Pearl Harbor was not, in fact, because the Japanese stole the US pearl supply. FML

It seems that you have a lot of teaching to do.

I wish I could be shocked by this but American education is so lax I'm not.

Please stop generalizing; there are some horrible schools but there are also many good ones. The U.S. is not the only country to have problems with education.

education starts at home. if you want more for your child, work with them and push them to be their best. you cannot expect a school to do your job.

That sounds like something someone at my school would think; in my grade 11 math class today, this one girl didn't know how many pennies there were in a dollar

Those who don't study history are doomed to repeat it. I sometimes shudder that an entire generation has forgotten the sacrifices made by our relatives in some of these horrible conflicts. :(

You are right on the target my friend.. I'm a very proud American that comes from a family brave enough to fight for me, my rights and my children! I have 7 kids and I'm happy to say they know more about history than most adults do today!
