When I discovered Rush in 1990 I added one hour of listening and a quiz to my daughters lessons...

We listened together to the first hour.. It was called Current Events

When I was in middle school on Fridays for 15 minutes there would be a special radio broadcast to schools with 4 different news items for that week...

We had to take notes and then we would have a quiz...

It was called Current Events...

My dad was career Navy and I had the benefit of a private school for my primary years. It was Calvert System curriculum
and in Istanbul for American progeny of American diplomatic, business, and military families so I was way ahead of the kids in public school when we got back to Virginia. I got more actual History in 2-4th grade than I got through 12th grade in American public schools. My favorite TV was the News. Daddy liked to talk to us about the places he had been
stationed and I had had a Geography class in Istanbul so I was pretty much aware of the world from an early age.
