american schools never teach anything about australian history

australia could be a piece of rock that fell from space and was colonized by magical talking platypuses and i would never know

I’m pretty sure that’s fairly accurate actually

Don’t forget the numerous creatures with neurotoxins.

To be perfectly honest, Australian schools don’t teach Australian history. Not that well anyway. We get a clip notes version that emphasises a half dozen events/periods in history and barely covers anything else.

Want proof? I took an Australian history subject at university this semester where three-quarters of my class were Australian and of that, only a dozen or so of us knew why the 26th of January was Australia Day. People didn’t know what the Eureka stockade was beyond being something important and the lecturer had to explain what the Stolen Generation was!

And yet every single one of those students knew about ANZAC Day and Gallipoli. Just not which war it was from, why it happened and the fact that it was a failure. Which is kinda an important detail…

we’ve actually done a lot of Australian history in high school - too much if you ask me, but I have no patriotic feelings and would rather learn about exciting stuff than my country

but yeah we’ve done the Eureka Stockade (multiple times), the Stolen Generation (again multiple times), Australia’s involvement in various wars over the years etc. and honestly it seems to me like the curriculum is trying way too hard to involve Australian stuff in every subject all the time especially English this year my goodness
