Don't most countries teach that their kids they are good country? It's basically just patriotism.

Not such level BS. The teach the country's history, they try to portray most wars/disputes etc. from the perspective of the country (though most also allow for balance), and so on. Few, if any, countries tells students that they're some unique exception upon the world, or have some burdern to lead the others. Colonial Britain and WWII-era Germany comes to mind.

Also, Ghana, Nigeria, and Senegal to name a few other countries with a chip on their shoulder.

Prideful counties are hardly unheard of in the world.

No, most countries don't teach patriotism in schools.
