You guys will laugh at me, but I listen to country all the time. Everytime I hear this song, it makes me think of Cedar Point and all the fun times I have had when I've gone. I cannot relate to the girl in the song because I usually go with my friends and until this year have been single the last 7 years.
It used to be that when I would see a news headline that claimed a large percentage of Americans can't find the US on an unmarked world map I would laugh because I was sure they had to be wrong. I know better now. I watched a 7th grade class fill in the states on a blank US map a few years ago when I was subbing. The teacher wanted to see how much the class knew so far, turned out the answer was not much. I understand when you get out west there are a bunch of states all shaped the same but if you're in Ohio you should at least be able to find Ohio...right? Wrong...
It was a real eye opener since I normally spend most of my time in special ed where I expect to find students having trouble but yeah, wow. I can say though that it was probably not a teaching issue. The kids didn't seem to really care a whole lot about where states were and now that everyone has GPS they probably care even less.
To be fair, most people on here wouldn't be able to get all 50 states right let alone take a map of europe or asia or africa and get them right. Heck, I don't even remember where everything is in Africa.
The lack of knowledge of the 50 states and Canadian provinces is pretty sad. We should probably know all of that and where they are on a map.
I probably wouldn't get 50/50, I would mess up some of the squarish states out west I'm sure but seeing more than one 7th grader write Ohio on Texas when they live in Ohio was perplexing. At least they knew Ohio should be by the water, that's something I guess. I'm not sure whether they really spend enough time teaching this in school now that I think about it. My long term assignments lately have been in 1st, 3rd and 4th grade groups and I'm not sure any real amount of time was spent on where the states are without breaking it up and throwing other information in with it. I'm not sure that they actually start with a good foundation of where everything is before they start going into this battle and that war.

You mean like how you can see the other side from the right place on the island? :P
CP is actually a peninsula and the "other side" you are seeing is probably Pelee Island, I don't think you can see the Canadian mainland from CP.
I'd rather be in my boat with a drink on the rocks,
than in the drink with a boat on the rocks.
