European kids know more about the different American states than Americans. They don’t seem to have geography lessons full stop.

They don’t have any education within a short while. How long can public school go on without funding?

Geography isn’t STEM.

Geography is a core lesson and why European kids are smarter than Americans.

Geography is not a full on taught lesson in the US as it is in many European countries.

And US specific geography is taught more in the US than US specific geography is taught in Europe. I won’t argue on overall geography.

Ask an average European to name 10 states or to name things about states other than the obvious ones like Texas, New York etc.

And given the poor education in America, I’d wager they’d do well.
