“An average professional football game lasts 3 hours and 12 minutes, but if you tally up the time when the ball is actually in play, the action amounts to a mere 11 minutes.”
We just barely touch on the Fed. Res. in 8th grade; and not before at all, other than an occasional mention if a social studies teacher pushes current events.
Re: use of the word, “hell”. I teach my homeroom students to play the card game, “Oh Hell.” I say to them, "I am going to teach you “Oh Hell” but I can’t use the word, “hell” so I’m going to call the game, “Oh Pshaw” so don’t tell people I said the word, “hell.”
Then again, when I take my students to the local hydroelectric plant, I tell them, “This is the best dam field trip!”
