OT: Teaching to the test

[alex fox]

GoodGrief! Some one just popped up on a group and said that Abraham 
Lincoln was really great in the Declaration Of Independance...What 
the heck are they teaching kids these days? I actually had to argue 
with this kid about the fact that he was born much later, Civil War 
later! He wouldn't believe me! He thought the Civil War happened in 
the 1900's! Till other people also corrected him! These kids are the 
future? We are SO doomed.
What do the kids at Hogwarts know about Muggle wars, I wonder? Surely 
the effects of the two World Wars had an effect on all things within 
the confines of the British shores? Muggle OR WW.
