You ought to rename this "Badly Described US School Subjects". As well as the obvious fact that US History is its own subject exclusively in the US, some of the others are country specific too - psychology is a university subject only in many places, and all the various mathematical subjects are components of general math/maths courses here in the UK, as well as in at least some other places.

Maybe accept European history for “world history”, as it’s very much the place where people shoot at each other? Geometry also seems reasonable for trig… at least where I’m from trig is part of geometry class.

It is kind of tough if you are not from the US. Here in Germany we just have one subject for all these mathematics subtypes. Same with history. Physical education is called sport and there is no psychology class at school.

Yep. I'm from Finland, and I was thinking "Isn't this just a bunch of history and math?"

We too have them all just lumped together.
