This.

 

Little to none overall, main focus was on World History or Canadian History.

 

I didn't pay much attention to history apart from the World Wars, so there's that.

besides court cases and teachers giving examples of "bad stuff" as well as some comparisons of government systems nothing really

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

We listen to songs about how we burned down the White House.

 

'nuff said.

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

They probably only learn about the couple of times they fought the US and kicked our asses on the great lakes.  Though that was not a fair fight, Canadians were granted the powers of cold immunity from the inuits, so they could fight better in blizzards.  This is how they survive yeti attacks.  All of this history is true, you can trust my grasp of world history since I'm American.

I am impelled not to squeak like a grateful and frightened mouse, but to roar...

Currently I'm in Gr.10 Socials and we're just finishing off, War of 1812, Confederation, Act of Union, Rebellion and such.

The most I learned about US history was in grade 8 when we discussed the OJ Simpson trial every day for one of my classes. Other than that we learn that we once burned down the white house. That's about it. Oh and NAFTA. Yup.
