Not sure where your grandson goes to school, Phogge, but in the California public elementary schools they teach a combination of history-social science-geography. As I recall in third grade my son learned about Santa Barbara County, fourth grade was California, fifth grade was U.S., sixth grade was world history/ancient civilizations.
If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
