SK

Independence day??
What's that???

The day the USA claimed independence from the British Empire on 4th July, 1776. Basically when the declaration of Independance was signed

isnt history a mandatory subject in every wealthy country nowadays?
anyways, happy 4th of july to our american friends.

History is usually always mandatory in school. Sometimes its the Real Deal, sometimes not. US High School History is typically a series of facts, interpsersed with fables and myths about our history and all are taught as facts.

The number of complaints I heard in University history classes were many.

Astounding that people still believe George Washington had wooden teeth. Or that he chopped down a cherry tree.

Hope everyone had a good and safe 4th!

At my school we don't learn history until 5th form or year 11 i'm 3rd form year 9. Until now I had never heard of independence day. I guess in New Zealand we learn all about our country first and then we learn about other ones later on in school.

We celebrate things like the Treaty of Waitangi (The day the British signed a treaty with the maori's).

We're a very small country. ( Only about 4 million people.)

Happy independance day anyway guys.
