How come in most school in the USA (at least mine) they teach Spain Spanish instead of Mexico Spanish? Would not Mexico Spanish be an obvious choice to teach?

Maybe it's because I'm from California, but we learned Mexico-Spanish. The books included Spain-Spanish (i.e. vos conjugations), but my teachers never included it in our lessons.

Kinda the same here in Nevada. Our Spanish teacher explained them briefly but told us we didn't need to learn them, didn't test us on them, so on.

I had a teacher from Spain for three years, then for the next four years they were from various countries: Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, and the US. It was great to get used to each accent.

Vos-conjugations are not a thing in spain though? You mean tu-conjugations?
-
I meant vosotros, yes, thank you! Sorry, it's been over two decades since I was in Spanish class; I mixed vos and vosotros up.
-
Vos is something only reserved to royalty and nobility outside of Argentina, I felt kinda offended lol.
