Grammar, spelling, science, math, reading comprehension, history, politics, business, economics, current events...I think all of those are more important than geography. Yet whenever an "Americans are stupid" debate is brought up, it always has to do with maps.
With the kind of foreign policy you have, you might well learn where shit is located, coz you sure do bark a lot for hillbilly idiots. And you sure love correcting history so it suits you, and putting labels on countries. History, business,economics, anykind of relations .. depend on geography.. SOCIAL SCIENCE, well being, geography is one of the most important subjects.
Europe is MULTI-CULTURAL, they study each others countries, they know what goes on in europe coz they treat each other equally, tht why europeans are in general more pleasant and educated then americans.
And the geography point... ive never heard such idiocy in my life, last time i heard something this stupid, it was one of my classmates telling the teacher that maths has no use what so ever since he can use a calculator.
