It got me wondering about the US education system. Can somebody maybe tell me a little about what the History syllabus is like? The Americans ive met in my travels have seemed pretty knowledgable on world affairs.

The Americans I've met while traveling in foreign countries seemed to be knowledgeable of world affairs, however the people I've met while traveling in the states remain blissfully unaware about the goings on past their borders for the most part.
I did three years of schooling in an American school system, when I returned home I had to do a lot of studying on world events to catch up to my peers. I knew a lot of American history and such, but very little of the world around me.
