When I was in school(oh here we go-with the old person remembering way back when)which happened to be Catholic school we had a specific Geography Class/Geography books. What I do remember is that I liked it and it was pretty cool-we had to draw maps from memory of other countries-the easiest and most fun being of course Italy-the Boot.
After 9 years in Catholic school I went to public school and there was no Geography Class but something called Social Studies and almost no emphasis on actual maps and where countries were.
When my nephew got to school I know that geography was simply non existent -social studies weren't much better. Then again the whole education system here is broken as far as I'm concerned. When I went to the Community College here what I was basically learning is what I had already learned in Catholic grade school. "People never do evil so throughly and happily as when they do it from moral conviction."-Blaise Pascal
I had no idea the differences would be so large within Europe itself. Good stuff, DoDo.
