What are our children being taught in the public schools?

Yes, I'm in 8th grade and in our history class we learn about the steps of becoming America and ratifying the constitution, we learn about preamble and ending, we learn about the federal gov't and our own state gov't, we are taught the 7 articles of the constitution but we only learn about the first 10, I think in 7th and 8th w begin and then go deeper in the subject in later school years.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
