Are you bilingual?
JoonasTo:
What I remember from school we had to learn all the states of the world in 7th grade. That's 13 years old. And as I understand we start school two years later than you from the states, so shouldn't every 14 year old be able so show where it is? ::)

we did the same here.
I bet you also had to know the capital and the language they speak. And maybe most popular know things about the country. I remember that remembering all the stuff in Africa was pain in the ass....
@rathoriel - oh if it was that long about then yeah, that may be true that they did not tell you that we did have our language (we do have it and have had it for quite some time, the write part of it is rather young, but still)

Getting a bit off topic here but-
You are taught what you need to know to enter the work force and earn a living. Its considered basic education (elementary - high school) Real learning doesn't begin until college in the states.

I don't mind, I am kinda glad actually. It puts me a step above the rest ;)
Honestly tho, its more about where in the US that you live / what school district you went to.
