Did Scotland ever have a history of selective secondary education? Why did the education system in Scotland develop differently than the rest of the United Kingdom?

The 1944 Education Act that introduced the Tripartite System in the United Kingdom applied only to England and Wales (with a bill applying to Northern Ireland passed in 1947). The Education (Scotland) Act in 1945 is described as a "consolidation measure," and the Wikipedia article states that universal secondary education was already the norm in Scotland.

So I have a few questions:

  1. Why was there already a system of universal secondary education in Scotland, while there was no such system in the rest of the United Kingdom?

  2. Was the system of secondary education in Scotland (pre or post 1945) ever selective in the way that the Tripartite System was (e.g. having equivalents to grammar schools, secondary moderns, etc)?

  3. Why was the secondary education system of Scotland excluded from the 1944 Education Act? Was there a reason for not including it the same education reforms as England, Wales, and Northern Ireland?

One of history's greatest mysteries: Who invented Tikka Masala? Some say the British, others that its an authentic Indian dish, still others claim it was first conceived in Glasgow, Scotland. Chicken tikka masala is arguably the world's most popular Indian restaurant dish worldwide.

https://theculturetrip.com/europe/united-kingdom/scotland/articles/a-brief-history-of-chicken-tikka-masala/

>A sumptuous culinary wonder, foodies have long considered chicken tikka masala β€” with its roasted chunks of succulent chicken doused in a creamy orange curry sauce β€” a testament to the UK’s status as a multicultural epicentre. But where did Britain’s unofficial national dish begin?

>See, the funny part is that the topic, like many great things, is entirely debatable and a subject of grave contention for many. Some vaguely state it’s a British take on a curry, while a considerable handful are convinced its roots are firmly grounded in India. Then there are others married to the fact that it was conceived in Glasgow, Scotland.

> Fans of acclaimed food critic Rahul Verma will see truth in his testimony and statement that the dish originated in Punjab during 1971: β€˜It’s basically a Punjabi dish not more than 40-50 years old and must be an accidental discovery which has had periodical improvisations’.

>Perhaps the most convincing claim comes from the great Ali Ahmed Aslam of Glasgow’s inimitable Shish Mahal, an authentic Scottish curry house with a cult following. The story goes that this man is indeed the true creator of chicken tikka masala.

>It all started in the 1970s when a grumbling customer lamented about his chicken being dry. Once whisked back to the kitchen, Mr Ali β€” who thanks to divine intervention had a stomach ulcer and was on a liquid-based diet β€” insisted that the dry curry be embellished with a touch of his tomato soup and a sprinkling of spices. Needless to say, the customer went from disgruntled to overjoyed, so much so that he kept returning time after time with his mates just to taste this beauty of a dish once more.

Looking for a recommendation of good read general American history book for friend a who was robbed of a general historical education in high school.

I've got a friend who has become interested in American history as he has started to be more interested in politics. He went to an early version of a magnet school that was untraditional and never got a good grounding in history. He went to a traditional college, but dropped out and switched to a vocational college b4 taking any real good core college level history classes. I reluctantly recommend Howard Zinn, but then we both decided there was too much of an ideology behind it for that to be the book he starts off with.

I can think of multiple topic/time/person specific books, but Howard Zinn's A people's history... was the only book I could think of the that goes from discovery to modern era. Whether you agree with him or not it's a good read, but I think you need more general knowledge of history b4 digging into that one. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
