Not much history gets attention today. Not in schools, anyway. I knew very little besides Canadian history before grade 8 thanks to the wonderful curriculum used in Alberta (which is similar throughout Canada, I’m sure). The only reason I know any now is because I stopped going to school. 😛
We didn’t have any real history in the curriculum but state history and a few really random social studies based on continents. I think we randomly started learning about American history in 5th grade and then in 9th we did Ancient History which I think was the origin of man up to the beginning of the Renaissance. After that I started taking college history classes so I’m not sure what they did from then on
