IMO, school isn't getting harder...it's being dumbed down so that everyone can pass. With NCLB, it's no surprise.

I had history classes from 1st grade to 10th...then again, I am in the US so I guess it's just different. It probably depends on the state or city or county too as far as the US is concerned. I don't see how you can go to school and
not have history as a major part of your curriculum.
