When I hear american people talk about history teaching it seems to almost always be america-centric. Do you learn much about the history of other countries?
When I did history we learned about the Middle East, China, Germany, Italy and America along with the history of England.

I think history class should focus on more modern times. In my American History class in high school, we only covered 1960s and beyond for the final two weeks of the year.. In World History, we talked about civilizations thousands of years old, which is interesting, but I think we should get a more comprehensive view of the modern world from these classes.
