Sarah, you never took a world history class? I thought that was like a universal requirement across the country in order to graduate HS.

Volband In high school (secondary school as the rest of the world calls it) you pick your classes. You have to pick between core subjects like a math class, science, literature, etc but you also pick special fun classes called electives. For instance, my freshman (or first year) high school was like this: First semester I had English (literature/writing), Algebra (should've been geometry though), Physical Education, Earth and Space Science (think of it like geology and astronomy), History of Rock and Roll (yes this is an elective class my old HS offers and yes, all we did was watch concert DVDs and write reviews), and World History. As far as I know, you can't pick your classes in elementary school but maybe it's different in other states.
