I agree with the thought that this is where they were aiming things. However, if this was indeed their goal (and knowing PBS educating students could very well be it) then they excelled. Unless he has an interest, a middle school student does not need to fully understand the complex political system of feudal Japan. Merely that there was a political system in place, that it was complex, and the ways it affected the most major events in the nation's history.
