Long story short, I aced everything.

This is not geography. I hate crap like this. Further confuses people as to what geography actually is.

It's kinda ironic when they say kids aren't scoring as well as they once were on these kinds of tests and yet the people administrating the tests don't even know the difference between social studies and geography. |

| | | | Missed question 3 in the 4th grade, but the answer was wrong.
It asked why we wouldn't see steel mills like this in the US today and the correct answer is because we import most of our steel, but they claimed it was because of more stringent environmental regs. What a crock of propaganda.
