    Something that amazed me after I graduated was how wildly varied grade school education is in the US.

    I went to school in NYC, where we learned that Unions helped build America and FDR was a great President.

    Shocking to meet people who were taught the exact opposite

      Yes, sometimes feels like the untied states, because I’m not exactly sure what unites us, besides geographical borders. I’m from Jersey and I feel like the interior states are their own thing, the south is it’s own thing, and the NEC, PACNW, and Cali are on somewhat the same page. You’d think education would be pretty consistent across the board, but states rights and all that, whatever it means.
