There is no such thing as ‘the American educational system.’
Each state makes its own rules, and each town has its own board of education. One place may decide to spend $5 million building a football stadium and not spend anything on new books; the town next door might have college level labs.
I attended a top 100 public high school in America, where we were taught Greek and Roman mythology. The problem wasn’t that the subject wasn’t offered, it was that a sizable portion of students weren’t paying attention. Even among those who did, few retained the knowledge beyond the next exam. The real issue with American education isn’t just what’s being taught but how it’s being taught. Subjects aren’t presented in a way that truly engages students or encourages long-term retention.

And collectively, that’s the American system
Suns and sunflowers are exactly the same because they are both made of atoms, right?
I’ll add that this is a sarcastic response.
