My high school history curriculum was one year of World History, followed by two years of U.S. History. I always thought that was completely backwards. There’s so much more history in the world than in the U.S. Besides, we’d already covered pretty much everything except the 20th century in elementary and middle school, making the first U.S. History class basically a rehash of stuff we already knew.
