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