i dont think youre off, most people ive spoken to here also didnt think canadians had thanksgiving

i think american education history wise really just kinda does american history and maybe a little european, i dont think they include canadian
where as in canada we do all of north america heavily plus european and than world history is a course you can request in highschool i love history favourite subject,
i also dont think its too far off to say its an american holiday it just happens to also be a canadian one, and since both canadians and americans came from europe , its springs from there

Yep, you're right about all of that. I didn't learn any Canadian history in high school and even in College my minor in Western Civ didn't touch it either lol. Like you guys didn't exist!

ya i have no clue why you guys do that

im hoping to put my kid in private school, but we'll see if not ill just give her some extra credit homework at home, that involves canadian history
as well as truthful history, none of this wish washy indians wore loincloths and were savages and lived in a free spirit with the wolves shit
i will go through all of the history of the colonization and horrible practices the europeans did to them. (when age appropriate)
i aint sugar coating history on my kid, thats bullshit
i know they are changing the canadian history courses to depict what actually happened to the natives, no point in lying about that stuff

I checked it out, highly rated. Its technically a magarine, but a good one, doesn't have the nasties like most margarines. As an aside, my favorite butter was also rated not so good. Kerrygold Irish butter is loaded with saturated fats and cholesterol: one tablespoon has 1/3 of daily recc'd fats and 10% of daily cholesterol. Sigh, I shoulda kept my yap shut

Hey and that's your choice as a parent, no doubt. I'm not home teaching my kids and I won't pay for private schools so I won't do that. It's enough to pay for 200k of undergrad for her so she won't have debt. I was fed the American bullshit and most people I know were too and we all turned out (pretty much) ok, so I let her get the same lessons. I'll leave it to her to decide if she believes it or not. I always feel the same with religion too- I won't teach it to her but if she says she wants it or something I'll take her to whatever church she wants. She can make her own life.

i plan to let the schools teach her, but if they dont teach canadian history ill add some in during games or whatever
nothing wrong with learning more outside school,
museums, and galleries and what not

im going with private school moreso because we move as a military family A LOT, which is hard on kids

Oh dude trust me I know all about it. My ex wife actually was a Navy girl from Coronado. Her dad was an officer and they moved all over the world. They eventually for her sake kept a house in Cali where she lived full time with her mom because changing schools was really tough on her and the family. Dad would live with them when he could but changing schools and moving around the world just wasn't doing it.

She eventually went to law school and is a fucking genious though, so everything worked out well :)
