When i was in high school the one thing that I actually was interested in learning about was Vietnam. But that never happened because the books we had where so old and it didn't happen yet. This was in the early 80's! How pathetic is this that the schools can't teach the students about important times in history. Instead they drilled us about the war of 1812. Not that that shouldn't be taught but i think there are more important events in history that should be. I wonder what they are actually teaching the kids today? How to look it up on Google? In math class calculators where banned except for a few times when they where needed. With all the kids today having smart phones are they banned from bringing them into class?
