    Bit unfair to include the Pacific Northwest in “area 51”, IMO. Should have a little sliver up there that just reads “bigfoot territory” or something.

      Depends on the expectations level. Maybe the goal is to recall names and overall positioning of, let’s say, 10. That sounds doable.

      My 7th grade geography class had a test where we drew in all the states and then had to label them along with the capitals. Bit of a pain at the time but ultimately knowing that geography in general has been somewhat helpful as an overall life skill.

        My eighth grade us history teacher gave quizzes like, you’re in Oklahoma, go north two states and go east one state. What state are you now in and what is the capital? Don’t remember capitals well but kept sense of geography.

      I think I’ve been in classes where I’ve had to memorize that stuff. TBH, there’s probably a mnemonic to remember them all.

        But did they have you draw them in? I remember having to remember them all when I was like 10. But just the names and their capitals. We did not have to draw them. That would have been a hilarious disaster.

      In Germany, our 9th grade English class focused on American English. We did a test where we had to fill in all the states. But at least not hand draw.

        I mean, the Columbia valley grows a bunch of corn, along with a bunch of other stuff. It isn’t the miles and miles of nonstop corn of the Midwest, but it is there.

      Similar to Colorado, only some parts of Minnesota are good. South of Rochester and north of Fridley aren’t great. Winona has some good, and Mankato is decent but never took part in the Anti-ICE push. Can’t say much about the state west of Mankato though, too close to North Dakota for my tastes (/s). However, climate change discussion sans naming it is highly respected throughout the state, we love our nature.

    I personally believe that US Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don’t have maps. And, I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should—our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., or should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children.

      Right? Also, who knows the map well enough to define the edges of Michigan, remembering it’s a mitten and not just a weird peninsula thing, but doesn’t actually call it Michigan? It’s one of the top 5 recognizable states.
