US Teens cant find Iraq on a map

I know this is sad, but I know when i was growing up and going to school… the only thing map realted topics (other than history classes that I found quite boring) was finding the 50 States on a US map. I dont remember having quizes on current events, or even knowing where to locate important places in the world. I dont want to pass the blame, but the school is where this information will be either learned or not learned. ( * )
