*sigh* Yes, I suppose I will have to cover the founding fathers and even a few of the not so founding fathers.

Must I cover Carter or is it acceptable to just skip the 70s after Watergate?

When I was in high school, we never got past 1945. I seem to recall vaguely having a few pages of assigned reading on, maybe, Korea, but that would always be after we had taken the final.

The history department at my current school moves like lightning, though. I can’t keep up with them, they do things like cover the French Revolution in two days.

A wise friend once told me that NO ONE gets all the standards done in history, so you have to pick which ones you’re willing to sacrifice.

What age is the child in question?
