I don't recall any such information.
There's people on this site of all different ages, who grew up in all sorts of different places. How do you know what their high-school history covered?
In my school, history was mandatory in the first year of high-school, and I think it might have been in the second year as well. Hardly anyone did it as a subject for
the remainder of their high-school years.
Needless to say, the content taught in those first 1-2 years barely even scratched the surface of historical topics.

- saiya-jin 7y agoWhat kind of backwardish 3rd world country are you from that you never heard in school terms like 'black death', 'spanish flu'? Even if you didn't, I've noticed it in practically all possible media hundreds of times in all possible topics.
- jamesrcole 7y agoRegarding your second paragraph, I never said that I’d never heard the terms. I said that they weren’t covered in high school history for me. There’s so many topics that can be covered in high-school history classes, and so little actual aggregate time for those classes - why would you expect those topics be amongst them? Also, why do you think that criticising such history classes, and the country they're in, somehow negates the point i made?
