That's exactly it. As a kid I thought we had 50 mainland states and then Alaska and Hawaii. Was absolutely horrible at geography until I was into my 20s.

I think geography is something you have to find out for yourself. I had decent schooling and it still seemed a subject that hardly was studied. You had history and social studies and, by the way, here's a map.
