[@secretlybees]

Often they teach geography as part of history class. A lot of schools don't have a specific geography class outside of high school electives. For part of my Euro History class we always had to memorize the map of countries of each test unit. I always did poorly placing them exactly, but knew the general area.

[@HouseMDaddict]

I was a person that hated history classes but I still got high 80s in the classes and grades in the 80s on state tests I had to pass in history. Geography was my jam. I literally had no interest in the rehashing of US history. It was incredibly boring. I did better with two years (we do two years in New York, with a whole year on a certain timeframe and then a second year on a different timeframe. For example, global 1 would be pre-1776 worldwide, and then Global 2 would be post-1776. Then we'd have a year in high school (3rd year) of purely US history and then 4th/last year it was half a year of economics and half a year of Participation on Government (like laws, voting, policy, etc). The Harlem Renaissance was the only interesting part of American history.

I’m in my 30s and I am sorry to say these individuals are smarter than the people I went to high school and college with. We used to do trivia games in class and the answers my peers gave just made me feel so bad for all the teachers who spent their time trying to impart knowledge. And yes, I’m from the USA.

[@celianunn2070]

Same. I was seen as the smart kid cuz I knew how to pay attention and still to this day people try to tell me idk what I'm talking about, even after showing multiple times.

[@kailyns8159]

@@celianunn2070 I remember those days. People have learned not to try arguing with me. Not only will I be right, I’ll know exactly how to prove I’m right. Case in point, the Navy is in my family. I had a substitute teacher tell me my surname (I’m not giving it out) is spelled wrong. I explained that sextant is Not my last name. That my surname is actually a position in the church. This idiot told me I was wrong so I got the dictionary and looked up both words, then had him read the definitions. I was 12 years old. He was probably in his late 20s/early 30s. I’ve had many similar encounters since.

[@celianunn2070]

@@kailyns8159 Yea same. I don't know why but I've had to do that 3-5 times to the same person and they would still be adamant that I was wrong. Idk if it's cuz I was "shy" (I didn't talk unless I had something to say" when I was younger, or if my demeanor comes off as someone who would easily change my mind. IDK. I'm 28, and this still happens.

[@kailyns8159]

@@celianunn2070 That sounds like a very stupid or very stubborn person. If not both. I wish I could say it gets better. But the truth is it doesn’t. There will always be some moron who is convinced he or she knows everything and you couldn’t possibly be right. I was born with 3 very rare medical problems. After knowing me 18 years, my best friend told me one of my medical issues didn’t exist and that I couldn’t have the symptoms I was having. I just stared at him like “are you sure you want to be schooled right now?” He remained adamant that I had told him the wrong condition. So I said “would you like to see the giant binders I’ve got chock full of my history with this condition that doesn’t exist? I’ve got 30 years of medical documentation.” And for some reason he decided to argue that I couldn’t have that many medical papers. At that point I lost it. There is 1 thing in this world that I know more about than anyone: my health. So if you have the gall to tell me I don’t know what I’m talking about, you better be prepared for the rage coming your way in response. I have been hospitalized a lot of times over what seemed like minor symptoms. I know when something is wrong. Shoot, I just saved my life in March by recognizing that I was turning yellow because my liver was in trouble.

[@calliemyersbuchanan6458]

As a teacher I can confirm. But I have to say...everyone is trying to blame the schools but in my honest opinion from what i've seen it has nothing to do with what is taught in the classroom but what media the students are consuming in their free time. When I was growing up we watched tv shows that explored things like history in a fun way or at least made intelligent jokes about history and/or science facts. magic school bus, mr rogers, boy meets world, game shows, etc. It was carefully crafted and scripted by networks and educated adults. Even the stupid jokes referenced facts and trivia and would reinforce things learned at school. That's how we all know the basic information needed to answer the questions in this video. Now all the kids are watching these days is content made by their peers or adults who are just trying to go viral and get views. Slime videos, pranks, memes, dances, challenges, drama, thirst traps, fail videos! It's what I call "serotonin shot" content, which is fine in moderation but I feel that's all they get anymore!

for the continents: the answer will be different depending on which country you're from; many countries learn that there are 6 continents, US citizens (for example) learn that there are 7, because they separate the america by "the americaS" (north and south) and a lot of countries just know about americA, the whole continent divided by 3 subregions (north, central and south)

I'm old and don't fit into this generation. But I will play devils advocate here... People get nervous with a camera in their face and won't question the questions. Like which state is Utah in... As a Canadian (yeah, we're a country. Mostly.) I know that Utah is a state, so I'm sure these kids do too. But the way it was worded was a trick, and cameras make you nervous. They used to do a show called Talking to Americans, where a Canadian would interview Americans on the street with similar questions about Canada. It was hilarious, but a little part of me felt bad for laughing because again, if you ask a trick question and they are under pressure... I can't say I wouldn't look stupid myself. Also, I want to have hope for the future. Edit: I watched the rest of the video. I am... Struggling to continue to defend them, and I no longer have hope for the future.

Certeza que exageraram, mas também não muito.

Na verdade, o ensino médio deles é muito mais fácil que o nosso, eles tem créditos de cada disciplina pra cumprir e depois vem as eletivas e os clubes lá.

I'm always cautious to believe some of these quiz in the street vids because some of them are edited intentionally to make them look stupid - cutting in answers for other questions.
