My school taught world geography in 7th grade (US public school). We learned every country and a capitol, every mountain range, desert, ocean and river across the entire globe. I think maybe only 50% of that has been retained nearly 20 years later, but still we did learn (well at least temporarily memorize) it.
- Sean1708 9y ago> We learned every country and a capitol, every mountain range, desert, ocean and river across the entire globe. This sounds like a very shallow style of geography, did you not do any social geography?
- ionised 9y agoHe did say 7th grade.
- Sean1708 9y ago7th grade is about 13 years old, right? I think I did social geography when I was about 13, I definitely wasn't any older 14 because I didn't do GCSE geography. Edit: In case you were interested this[0] is an example of the kind of stuff we learn when we're 11-14 in Britain.

- ionised 9y agoI am British (31 now). I can't remember year 7 and 8 geography very well, though that all sounds familiar.
