I attended a top 100 public high school in America, where we were taught Greek and Roman mythology. The problem wasnāt that the subject wasnāt offered, it was that a sizable portion of students werenāt paying attention. Even among those who did, few retained the knowledge beyond the next exam. The real issue with American education isnāt just whatās being taught but how itās being taught. Subjects arenāt presented in a way that truly engages students or encourages long-term retention.
