    Oh my God, I knew where Iraq was in 1st grade!
    There's a boy in my homeroom, he doesn't know how to pronounce Iraq.
    He pronounces it 'I-rah-Q"

    I haven't had any kind of geography class since 6th grade. I knew where that was though because the news shows it a lot when talking about the war. 8D

    i guess it depends in which state you go to...some states may be 'dull' however others would be full of fun stuff. I don't know.

    Our teacher was just going over this. He's like "How much do you guys no about Iraq?" And pretty much it only had to do with war. I'm learning more about the general area, since Mesopotamia (The first ancient civilatization) was between the Euphrates and Tigris rivers. It did come over as a shock that what's now a bloody war fest was the cradle of civilization. And our school, especially aforesaid class, knows WAY more about present day Iraq.

    Thats Americans not most of the rest of us.The thing is that the American school system is crap and that needs to change.In Ireland it is drummed into our heads until we can recite stuff like that off by heart otherwise detention or the office.

    The thing is that.. you just have too many states!! i wouldn't remember unless id stude them for like an hour and i just couldn't.... the thing is that i wouldn't stay focused for only like 5 minutes and thats why i hate geography... alltough i know where most of the stuff is but still

    i think people would recognize that the state is a state if they saw it on a piece of paper. i dont' think they would be able to just list them whenever they wanted though.
