Did you have to study your state history in school?

Indiana does the entire year of Indiana history in fourth grade (I remember when I was doing my observation as an education major all my friends who were assigned to the fourth grade classrooms talking about it....having to know the names of EVERY county in the state would drive me bonkers!)

I think Indiana's social studies curriculum is set up pretty similarly to what AGDee described....very structured.

I don't think California had the definite "CA history class", or if they did, I didn't learn it in my schools! (And I never built a mission, either! )
