We've covered WWII in the last 2 years and each time was horrible. I'm always trying to correct my teacher on basic facts."

Nathan, your school might benefit from a visit by a veteran. Take a look at this article in the War Stories thread about a Doolittle Raider who recently visited with some of your fellow Ohio students. Could you arrange a similar visit at your school?
Your local VFW or other veterans organizations may be willing to serve as a contact between your teachers and veterans who are willing to meet with your class and discuss their experiences. If you can find the veterans, ask your teachers to invite them to meet with your class to discuss their wartime experiences.
