@sim Same as far as the national pride thing. I'm not a patriotic guy, and I actively scorn the bad parts of the history of my own country and others, but I think it's important to teach history, specially if the country has lots of it to tell. Here at school you'll see a very basic recap of the independence wars between 1800 and 1816, and some stuff about the 1880s, '40s and '70s. That's it. And Buenos Aires was first founded on 1534, and stands since 1580 after being destroyed once by it's inhabitants. Not to even go into pre-Spanish history. And this is still much younger than your place, of which there exists historical records from at least Roman times.
In a country like yours with a much longer history and thus full of interesting stuff, there should be much more covered and shown in school so that people have an idea of what has happened where they stand.
