Yes, I took world history freshman year, which was required. The rest of the required courses are American history courses, but there are elective courses that deal with other parts of the world.

ok, so he's wrong then, in general it would be safe to assume that american high schools (ages from 13 to 18 approx) do in fact teach global aspects of history. would it be fair to say that the global versus american history ration is about 60/40, 60 global / 40 american?

I would say that is a fair ratio..we learn a great deal of american History, however not as much as global...

Who's wrong? I said that American high schools do teach world history. But unless you take electives, there is more American history.
