Does this ever REALLY bug you?

Teacher syndrome - are we Japanese here?

The A.P. textbook is good. I'm using US History "Out of Many" A.P. textbook right now, and it gives rather unbiased and detailed view of American history.

The "lower" textbooks, however, simplified history into another boring class of useless facts.

Otherwise, I'm sure I know more about history than my World History teacher last year; much more, I'd say. Strangely enough, I was utterly ignorant of the flows of the United States' history (I know there was a civil war about slavery, something about Custer's defeat by Indians, considerable knowledge in the 20th century of America's role in the world, and I knew about the Revolution, but everything else I did not really know) until I took the A.P. class.

Oh this is all nothing to my experience of being told that the Roman Empire fell in 1020 AD. If that were true, we've all been lied to for a very long time.
