Normal to have so much freaking us history?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>Our schools is OBSESSED with US history.</p>

<p>In freshmen year, we have to take world history.</p>

<p>In sophomore year, we have to take US History 1 which goes to the new deal</p>

<p>In junior year (now), we have to take US History 2 which covers until today's time.</p>

<p>In senior year, the only AP available is APUSH, plus some sociology class or some B.S. for the slackers.</p>

<p>Is everyone else required to take 2 years of cp or honors us history before APUSH because this seems a bit much.</p>

2

<p>No.</p>

<p>We do World, Euro, US, Electives.</p>

<p>All of those can either be AP, Honors, or Regular.</p>

3

<p>in my school we take us history in 9th modern world history/economics in 10th and gov or ap gov in 11th. You also need an elective</p>

4

<p>We have World History, US History 1, US History 2 AP, and AP US Gov/electives. World and US 1 can be in honors, and the elctives are sociology and anthropology.</p>

<p>Freshman year: no history class (geography takes its place)
Sophomore year: World Civilization / AP Euro Hist

7

<p>History sucks, im way more of a science person. sorry don't mean to offend any possible history majors here. I'm just one of those people that don't have 10 GB memories to fill with historical facts.</p>

<p>And you know the best part....I get the same teacher for ALL 3 years of US history because there is one teacher for all us 1. then that teacher also teaches 1/2 the us 2s and the ap teacher teaches the other 1/2 us 2s this year. I got the us 1 teacher for us 2, but the ap teacher is retiring next year, so I get this teacher for AP.. w00t. Shes cool, but she gives a lot of busy work. At least I get As</p>
