Anyway, if I have a point, it's this: never underestimate the inadequacy of the US primary education system.
That happens everywhere it's not an American thing ( btw, the article is from an Irish newspaper), there's too much to cover in so little time. But learning shouldn't stop when we graduate, I can't blame school for my adult-life shortcomings, I got the basics and that should be enough IMHO
On the subject of the article, it's definitely not as popular as the punic wars or Caesar's conquest of Gaul, but then again what is?
Then again, you look back at what students and school boys from earlier eras were able to learn and accomplish by the time they were considered men (which by the way was like 16-17 in antiquity), you wonder what the hell our modern education system is doing sometimes.
