Do they? Not many IME, and not really used.
> a responsible teacher should explain the historical connection between ocean navigation and mapmaking
Says who? Is that in the cirriculum?
> a totally manufactured example of racism.
That it's totally totally manufactured is itself totally manufactured.
- bawolff 4y ago> Says who? Is that in the cirriculum? Yes? I mean, i guess different places have different curriculum, but this was certainly in my school's curriculum and it seems like the sort of basic knowledge that definitely should be.
- rootsudo 4y agoThey used too, my classes did. I can see not anymore with cost cutting and relying on Google Maps. But, there was a time where Google didn't exist, and a globe would be in the corner of the classroom w/ Maps that can be pulled down on the whiteboard/chalkboard (boy was that an exciting change!) that showed different maps, from Mercator maps to political USA maps and geographic USA maps. Shocking, I know.
