I attended school in USA grades 7 - 11 and I did not have a civics class. Is civics part of the standard curriculum?

Yeah, with the size of government now, you need half the school day dedicated to civics K-12. The Obama crowd would love that.

Thank you. I dropped out in the 11th grade (went to college) which explains why I missed civics in the 12th. (I went to school in California.)

I caught up recently by drilling my Aussie wife for her US Citizen civics test - she learned all 100 questions by heart.

I made her Web flash cards, too: http://www.verticalsysadmin.com/US.html

I dropped out of college, too. Now I don't have an EDUCATION section on my resume. Plenty of work experience though.
