If someone can’t eat by mouth they can have a tube in their stomach where a formula can be fed. It smells really gross if it spills a little and dries.

>I understand that’s because it’s our history.
That is why.
It’s taught, but very lightly. US history (I’m American, but I imagine European is similar) is very US-centric.
>So why are we not taught this? It seems the curriculum is missing crucial information to tell a balanced story of world history and why the world is shaped culturally the way it is.
You can ask that about basically any major historical event/topic. There are many that aren’t taught in detail, even if they’re important. Stuff like the Holodomor, or China’s Cultural Revolution hardly gets covered at all, etc. Even parts of U.S. history get neglected- anything past ~WWII tends to get crunched, if it gets covered at all. Hell, most of Arab/Middle East/Islamic history doesn’t get covered at all. It’s not unique to slavery. Places like India also get very little coverage.
At the end of the day, it’s a mix of countries typically be self-focused when it comes to history, as well as limited time to teach *a lot* of history. Ultimately, *something* has to get cut, via triage. You’ll get a broader exposure in things like AP courses or college courses for precisely that reason.
Quality of teaching also varies widely in the U.S., so that can have a large impact on what gets covered, as well.
That said, I would say it was covered enough that I was aware of it, in my education. Not in a lot of detail, but certainly enough to know it happened. It wasn’t hidden, but it got the same coverage as anything else in those periods. Which (particularly for the Middle East) was “a brief mention”, more or less.

Unfortunately we don’t have closure on that still, and it’s a tricky thing to accurately determine.
I read a medical journal which has this to say in conclusion:
“on the one hand, it seems evident that the transmission originated in the Huanan market. But, on the other hand, three fundamental questions remain that have not been definitively answered. First, where did the virus come from? Second, what was the intermediate animal host? And third, why has the virus genome not been reproduced 100% in any of the coronaviruses found in bats?”
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10019034/
Basically the point of origin is the market and not from the lab geographically, but how it happened at that market in the first place hasn’t been determined. We may not ever get an answer to it, other than it was a calamity and has caused countless deaths and ongoing medical complexities for the entire world.

On the other hand, if they’re taking a left turn, they’re already on the other side of the road from the curb so they don’t need to adjust.
I’m sure the reverse is true in countries where they drive on the left side.

There are a lot of skills that lead to academic success, not just intelligence. Things like organization, listening skills, deference to rules, conscientiousness, perseverance, follow through, focus, desire to do well, etc.
There are plenty of smart people with bad grades. Also, there really is no good way to measure intelligence. All commonly used metrics have their flaws. Saying someone is smart or intelligent is highly subjective.

I wasn’t sure about toilets so googled it and admittedly for 3rd class there were still only 7 toilets (3 for women, 4 for men), however every single cabin had chamber pots which were still widely used at the time so it wasn’t a problem at all.
