       @mekkaokereke This whole thread! When I moved to Chicago from New England, I learned that folks who grew up in Illinois (look! We have Abe!) learned an entirely different version of American History than I had (look! We're dumping the tea!) and then I moved to Atlanta.... And then the PacNW.... It's honestly fascinating to me how much we *can't* teach our kids because the country is huge. My favorite thing is asking locals what American history they learned.

       @mekkaokereke absolutely true, I am sorry for the bad wording on my part. I mean to say the history teachers tend to focus on the local version of history rather than, you know, history.

       @futurebird I feel lucky to be of an age and education where I learned about how to do research, and remember before the www when the internet was a magical wonderland of people who were experts in things I wasn't, but I could ask them directly about random things I wanted to know. Many times they were even excited to answer!
