https://www.parliament.uk/documents/lor … olsFP2.pdf4.3 History at Key Stage 3 (11–14 Year Olds)
Key Stage 3 looks to cover significant individuals and events in the history of Britain from the Middle Ages to the 20th century and key aspects of European and world history.
The curriculum sets out a number of areas to help utilize these skills focusing on both national and local levels where appropriate. Three of these areas are British: Britain 1066–1500 (eg the development of the monarchy, significant events and characteristic features of people‘s lives); Britain 1500–1750 (eg crowns, parliaments, key individuals and major political, religious and social changes affecting people); Britain 1750–1900 (eg the expansion of trade,colonisation, and industrialisation and political changes).
So much for your straw-man argument.
Is there any subject where you actually know what you're talking about?
Yes I'd say the average person should know about things like volcanos, more so than ancient history.
