I am doing a cultural paper for my english class and I chose the topic "The educational curriculum of Southern states and it's effects on the country's workforce."
When I went to Kentucky for FFA national convention I met many people from different states. I only found a couple of people who knew where New Hampshire was. Some people thought it was a city in the state of New England, some thought it was in Canada, I had to use my hands as a map, telling where their state was and where New Hampshire is compared to that. It was shocking, three times had my school system have to learn where ever state is, what their capitals were, as well as large rivers, lakes, mountains and other geographical landmarks were.
I was wondering what your take is on the topic. I know that some of the Southern states are poor, which may be a reason for the less in-depth curriculum.
I do not want any flames, just what you think.
