US Students failing history

Students in the US are(still) terrible at history.

Fewer than a quarter of American 12th-graders knew China was North Korea's ally during the Korean War, and only 35% of fourth-graders knew the purpose of the Declaration of Independence, according to national history-test scores released Tuesday.

In terms of education reform, I don't know who to blame.  My guess is both the schools and the parents, though I suspect it's more of the parents than I would like it to be (parents are harder to fix than schools).
