> except for classes that are unique to the national curriculum Curious where you draw the line on this one? At high school age _most_ subjects are unique to the local area. <insert language here> literature classes would likely focus on more local authors; when I studied english lit in ireland 15 years ago our focus was on Irish authors. You would expect UK based students to study English/scottish/welsh authors, and americans to study american authors. My middle school and equivalent geography classes were predominantly talking about globally applicable topics but with more local examples.
