None taken..I am forced to agree..as many kids in American schools way
back when I was going through geography class - I regretfully concidered
it a useless waiste of my time..So naturally, when I grew up and joined
the military....A big part of my job gets to be what is where and by the
way what is the city near that...So I have had to learn geography the hard
way. And of course, just as with history europeans live where it all
happened so it is much easier to grasp all the while many US students
view it as something very abstract..
