I remember when my history class got to WW2 in aroun Jr High/Middle school, and I really didn't learn anything that I didn't already know since I started reading about WW2 way back in the 5th or 6th grade mainly cause I got fed up with "America this, America that, America does everything."
Also Platapus makes a good point, here in the good 'ol US of A we're taught that we won every war we've ever fought without any help from anyone, however not everyone is taught that way it greatly depends on the teacher and the history books that are supplied to the schools too.
