3. If the history lesson is from a Texas history textbook

they broach the subject on about the same level of justice as the discussion about slavery. IOW, it might get a couple of paragraphs.

Not that we hadn't heard about him before from those who lived through WWII. I grew thinking of him as the ultimate evil.

5. I also had world history during my sophomore year of high school.

It was the only history course I taken that wasn't taught by a coach. My teacher was a young lady that was a recent college graduate. I liked her, but she only stayed at the school for one year before leaving.

Considering the quality of my other history teachers, I'm surprised that I managed to get 3 hours of credit in history through the CLEP exams.

In 10th grade we had Regents in Biology, Geometry and World History. My World History teacher was one of my favorites, he was also my home room teacher. And then in 11th grade we had a year of American History.
