Is this news?
The average lack of geographical knowledge in the US, it's becoming legendary, I've seen this reported several times over the years. Maybe I shouldn't make fun of it though...
"Mexico ranked last with an average score of 21, just three points from a failing grade"
Actually according to
our
traditional scale of 0-10
that's a failing grade
even in elementary school, where 6 is the passing grade (which becomes 7 for college and can even be 8 for graduate studies).
This disturbs me, I'm gonna write a letter to "Chente" Fox.
It's disturbing how little the world in general seems to care for the rest of the world, or is it how quickly geography is forgotten? Maybe it's a problem with the teaching of geography being mostly based in rote memorization, and geography not being correlated to history and current events by the teachers.
