In case anybody hasn't noticed, the UK has rather a lot of history - not everything can be covered in detail, so some subjects have to be skimmed over. The latest guidelines are giving teachers more discretion over what they can teach, is all.

Dave Barry once commented that his American history class in school consisted of an ENORMOUS amount of detail on the Colonial period, the American Revolution, the War of 1812, and the Civil War -- and then everything from the Civil War to the Present was taught in about 2 weeks because they ran out of time.

I was going to make a similar comment. In 12 years of public (American) education, I only had 1 class that covered the 20th Century after WWII. (I graduated in 1994.) My world history class (OK, there's a LOT of history there) didn't get past the 1700's (and focused on European history with very little Asian, almost no North/South American and no Australian).
