When I was in elementary school, every year we had World History, but there were breaks where one year would be Geography and another year might be Tennessee History. In high school, it was required that we have one year of World History, one year of U.S. History, and one year of U.S. Government. However, these classes were not taught per say. The teachers were the male coaches who didn't feel they had to do their jobs because of "FOOTBALL!" so we were on our own. I enjoyed history quite a bit, so I would carefully read through the textbooks and do the worksheets the coaches always "forgot" to pass out. The most memorable thing any teacher in a history class ever did was he forced us to watch an online clip of an aid worker being beheaded just after the start of Bush's war. It was memorable in being something I wish I could forgot.
