    I'm pretty sure children are taught only 'Social Studies' (Apparently History and Geography in one class) here in the US, and from what I've seen, geography isn't focused upon (At least from my experience) except for a few pretty maps and huge US map hung somewhere in any classroom.

    Edit: I'm not from the US originally, so I don't know much before High School. In High School I just learned History.

    6th grade history? Yeah, no this wouldn't really be relevant to pretty much anything I learned in sixth grade. Sixth grade I learned...Early civilizations.

    If kids don't know basic shit about a neighbouring country (i.e. it's always snowing and they add 'eh' to the end of everything they say) they should be beaten until they learn. <_<

    You'd be surprised at what some Americans think goes on in Canada...

    That's what everyone sees when it's the first word. You never know where links lead nowadays. :ph34r:

    Meh.

    I preferred classic Air Farce. It kinda went to shit after Morgan died, and they hired the newbies.

    But McLean and Mansbridge were nice touches.

    Virail: So, that's a lesson in bullshitting 150 words into an order of magnitude of filler?

    Now we know our education system is in the shitter.

    Virail's university is stealing essay ideas from a New Jersey sixth grade class.

    I wanted to take the class just for the lulz of writing essays on the status of the Fanfiction community with a DLP slant to it all, but the class was full :(
