Oct 4, 2026, 9:18 PM@irene @DeliaChristina In the sci.tech track at my high school, European history was required. US history was for the manufacturing.tech/votech track. We cleared the entire textbook that year but it stopped at 1890.ev.
What I know about everything after WW1 I know from my grandparents and reading books on my own time.
Edit: 1890, not 1850.
@drwho the US was involved in WWII, it’s not just European history? I learned about WWII extensively in 10th grade, also went to a Sci & Tech school.

I didn't go to a sci.tech school, I went to a public school. Pennsylvania had this thing called Project RIGOR, where we took a bunch of tests in eighth grade and were sorted into different career tracks. I was in the "going to college, sci.tech track," which set the classes I could take in high school
Also, edited the post you replied to because of a typo. 1890.ev, not 1850.ev.
