American PUBLIC schools suck NOW (mostly since Bush II, when they really ramped up their attacks). Private American schools for rich kids do not suck, and public schools didn’t used to suck.
This is all by design, to be clear.
I’m sixty, I got a decent public school education, and I was taught about “The Troubles” while they were happening. I was also taught about the horrors of The Holocaust by a history teacher who lived through the war. My eighth-grade English teacher was a WWII vet, and he had some stories.

To be clear, we were taught extensively about the second world war and the holocaust. They really don’t teach world history after WWII.
