Are these the typical things taught in USAian history classes?

My elementary school didn't have any courses on KANGdoms or Islamic Empires but I wouldn't be surprised if today's kids are getting this

In a world where Nat Turner is considered a hero anything is possible

Yeah, pretty much, in common core anyways.

Half are euro/world history, the other half is American history. You take two starting points and learn linearly at the same time. It is a logical system. The end of the euro history curriculum is the beginning of the American history curriculum it appears.

That said, I didn't learn about most of these things in grade school, and I doubt these will be retained well or taught in much detail given the early grade level.

In Texas they actually extensively teach Texas history at the lower levels which is pretty awesome and a big reason why Texans grow up to have such a sense of pride and love for their state.

Hispanics assimilate much better in Texas than they do in California almost entirely because of this. They grow up viewing themselves as Texans while Californian spics attach themselves to Mexican nationalism in a desperate attempt to have an identity.

What is common core, pls explain.

>>72622649
Is that some crabcock I see there?

>american education

>>72620811
Rivers do make sense, but why lakes?

>>72623988
Ive never lived in Texas, but Im Californian and what you said about Calispix is 800percent true.

USA confirmed spic country

A curriculum that is set up by the federal government that all states have to follow. It's good for states that had really shitty curriculum previously, and bad for other states that now have to change their actually functioning education system to meet the demands of common core.

I.E., it makes education less unequal, but in the wrong way.

I thought it was just a really, really contrived and bat shit retarded way to teach math

>>72628185
fucking feds man

>>72628185
It only seems contrived if you don't bother to understand it.

>>72620741
Nat Turner is literally a hero tho

>>72620678
yeah

>>72628303
>ok we can do this in 3 steps but let's not
>we'll do it in 10 steps instead
>put this here and that there and this here and then we take this and put it here and..
>why? just because

I tried a couple of times while watching videos of it but it's just overcomplicates simple things and that is a bad thing

>>72628185
it does contain that

>>72620678
honestly sounds like a pretty good programme

>>72620678
We have texas history 7th grade, us history 8th grade, world history 9th grade, 10th grade human geography we dont really learn much befor or after.

>>72627689
What dumb logic

>>72628185
the math is really contrived because they are trying to teach it how people think it, the issue is that it doesn't work at all that way and it doesn't stick in people's minds that way.
