BTW here in Cali. I know a high school teacher who was sent "get this" a map which contained the world allegedly but yet the middle east and other portions of Europe were not on it as they are not tested on those parts of the world so as far as our school-system was concerned they didn't exist on the map. And we wonder why our kids can't tell us basic info on the world that we learned. This teacher did however make the mideast a part of his curriculum even though it may have hurt his test scores. They had pen pals with kids in the mideast that were their age and learned so much from each other.
