I think its sad that kids in schools here in Australia (thats that big island continent straight across the water from you south americans :) aren't being taught much geography at all. At the school where my children attend and where I also work, they only study one country a year and they wouldnt know the capital cities of anywhere let alone where countries are. They're learning a lot about their own country but I think the most important thing to teach them (besides reading, writing and maths) is how the rest of the world lives!
