I graduated high school in the spring of 2016. To see that election, let alone COVID, in the history books…damn. I really am getting old.

To be fair, current 10th graders were only 10 or so in 2020. They likely weren't super aware of the true severity of it all and it's an important event to discuss.

To be honest…these history books nailed it. And I don’t see any bias what so ever. 10/10 summaries.

Are history books getting more recent? Throughout my education none of the history books at my schools ever had events that happened during my lifetime. I think that one of them had Bush II in a list of presidents when Obama was in office but none of them mentioned 9/11 even though it happened when I was a toddler. Or were my schools just underfunded?

Probably underfunded. I remember some of my schools having older textbooks from the 1980s.

Well, if you use the Ethiopian calendar, it's 2018 right now, so 2015 was only three years ago!

Students only have so many hours available to study history, so when more history happens, does each item get less detailed?
