There was another map with major landmarks and things such as rivers, lakes, mountain ranges..we were allowed two wrong on that. Most of it has stayed with me. Best assigment we ever had..was hard but it has helped me so much.

I had a similar test back in HS too. I was surprised that almost the whole class couldn't even name all 50 states. So iguess whoever said that we're bad in gepography were right.
But for people who are not from America prob'ly are only seeing TV shows where we're making fun of the dumbasses in this country & are taking it to heart thinking that's how we all are. They rarely put intelligent, well spoken people on TV as entertainment here.
