On another note, when I went to boarding school in Mississippi, we were required to have a semester of Mississippi studies, usually offered as a first year/freshmen class. It sucked!!!

It is probably different for private schools. What I posted was the recommended curriculum from the state (and what they end up testing on the MEAP at different ages). It may also be a newer rule. I didn't study Michigan history in 4th grade. In fact, I don't think I ever studied Michigan history. I do remember, each year, we started history with the explorers and never got beyond the Civil War. I was so excited in college to finally learn history from 1865 to present!
