[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a 10-year-old in MCPS and he still has trouble with very basic geography. I don't care whether he learns state capitals but I do care that he learns about the states, the other countries in North America, and basic information about the other continents. MCPS does not appear to be teaching this fundamental information and they are placing yet another item on my list of at-home supplementation. And that is a problem, public schools should already cover that material. [/quote]

Clearly they teach it as many kids learn it in ES.  It’s also covered again in MS and again in World History, so stop stressing.   If you really want your kid to learn it now there are lots of ways to do that 
- Stack the States
-Animaniacs song
- Fifty Nifty US song
- This wonderful thing called a Map or Globe

US schools cover geography less than most around the world.  Partly because of arrogance and partly because there isn’t as much as close by so people never see the other places and therefore can’t place them as easily.[/quote]
