From my perspective, it seems like in high school there is a major importance laid on American history (at least in my experience)!. Once you get into college they place a heavier reliance on world history!. However, I think that the people that go on to college and have courses such as world history have the sense to know to LOOK IT UP IN THE BOOK!. So basically, I think you're separating high school students who don't want to do their homework from college students that are seeking help in writing a paper, doing a presentation, etc!. We all know that high school is not nearly as selective as college, and therefore the abundance of stupid questions, such as "What factors led to the American Revolution"!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well, personally I think there are two reasons!. For the legit questions people tend to ask questions about topics they're already familiar with, this way they would have some way of telling if they're getting fed a line of bull!. With world history that's a little trickier and I've seen more than a few 'best answers' give blatantly false information!.

It could also have to do with what people are studying in school!. I imagine it's mostly highschoolers as college students have access to considerably more resources (j-store anyone!?) and wouldn't need to ask quite so many questions!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's so much information, and many people don't find it interesting so its hard to stay focused and actully learn and remember it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

That's too much to remember!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
