Although that's probably a few levels above standard grade history.
The history we learnt when I was a wee bit younger usually revolved around the western world, and a lot of it could be tied to Norway. It's easy to see the importance of learning about heritage and such, but it shouldn't be exclusive as it's easy to become egomaniacs with poor walking vision. I must admit that up until the 10th grade or something I thought that most muslims were bad. Needlessly to say, I was horribly misinformed.
you sir are quite lucky.
beginning next year, i will have been to six different schools(all by ninth grade mind you :3). i lived in ottawa until i was seven, going to one school, and then i moved to Atlanta for for five years, and i went to 4 different schools, all in five years. then i moved to toronto (back in canada), and i've just now finished my second year at my first school there, and am moving to a new school because i don't really like that one. every school ive been to has only taught the history of their own country. Canada included. the only place where i learned about the world was when i was homeschooled, when i went from prehistory all the way to the renaissance. those were the most productive two years of my life. what i want to say, is that the US isn't the only country to put their history before the world's.
I love you
