Rye Miles #13621 Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 Did ya notice how everyone ALWAYS gets Italy?? The "boot" is the most recognizable country in the world! Rye ( My family is from the Gargano peninsula area, aka the "spur" of the boot)
Harvey Mushman Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 Sad. We could do this in the 6th grade in the '50s-60s (with the then country borders and names), EASILY. We were even better in the 1870-1900s. Take a look at the examples of 8th grade tests in that era - our college grads could not remotely pass now. And the really sad thing is that with modern technology, transportation, trade, world politics, etc, our world is such a smaller place that is so much MORE important to know these things..... Sad that we have lost our way in education. Back to basics!
