I used to study Military History part time. I was lucky enough to be taught by one of the then leading military historians in Britain.
He told me that every year (he was in his fourth year) he taught for one term at the Virginia Military Institute. Before he started teaching he was told to he was teaching in a college. However, he quickly understood that he had to teach at year 11 standard (leading up to A level).
I don't know if this adds to the discussion and I am certainly not equipped to compare teaching philosophies between differing countries, but it is offered in the hope that it helps.
