From: (Anonymous)Then again, I've been out of the education system for a while now, so it could be one of those education standards that's completely changed since then.
Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)My schools were so-so and no US geography after eighth grade unless you took the elective. The only non-US geography I ever got was Central American in Spanish class, and I learned my European capitals from Carmen Sandiego in the '80s (so guess how out of date half of them are now).
That said, I can locate all 50 states and also know the capitals, because it interested me/my dad and I have a good memory. On the other hand there are FIFTY of them and while I expect people to know the obvious-shaped ones around the edges (California, Texas, Florida, NY, etc) and have a general idea of the region they're in, I don't think it's that weird people can't identify a lot of them.

From: (Anonymous)Weird. I went to a fairly shitty rural school (bad enough that parents will pay to send their children to a different school district) and we had World Geography my sophomore year where we focused on US/North American geography for a good third of the semester.
Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)I graduated five years ago, though, so this was fairly recent.
Re: Fandom Venting
From: (Anonymous)There are vast disparities in public education in the US, both in terms of different state standards and curricula, as well as how strong individual schools are in certain subject areas. There is really no way to say any subject area or topic is "typical" of US public education. I had linear algebra at my public high school, but other areas that I'm sure were severely lacking compared to other schools.

From: (Anonymous)Do you mean like you graphed lines, or like linear algebra with matrices?
