I had many foreign exchange studends in my classes, at both the highschool and college level, and they all know more about our form of government, the Declaration of Independence (which several could quote from memory), and the Bill of Rights... i.e., civics questions that 95% of all eighth graders should know.

My own school education was, in great part, with U.S. schools, so I know more about U.S. history (more, but nothing to boast about!) than about Bolivian or German history.
