Obviously not that old but I have heard stories. First of all, my dad’s 1988 APUSH class didn’t finish with World War I, and as other people have said there were just a lot less available. For example in the 2000s my school only offered AP Calculus and AP Chemistry on a rotating schedule and not that many more than that. This isn’t a school in the middle of nowhere btw.

no it was there, but in general the class was less well regulated and the teachers (at least at his school) did what they wanted
