For my studies I'm gonna have to learn....

[SnoopDog]

.....all 50 states of the US, where they are located plus some major cities, rivers and lakes. And a lot of history.

Phew.

Better get to work now.

(Though I already now the entire east.coast, yay on me.)

OK, I guess I'll ask it...

Why?
(or what subject is requiring that --in germany is it?)

 

[SensualCealy]

Tolyk- we didnt learn any Canadian history until gr.9, lol so why should he have to at all?

Im not joking, but I hope he has to learn something about our vastly unknown history.

Students in senior levels in our elementry school have to do a project each spring on someone, thing or event that is important to Canadian History. My son, due to his teachers inadaquicy (sp- obviously mine as well) decided to do something easy, our family tree and the landing of our ansestors in Quebec. Turned out really good, likely get a level 3 or so on it.

I think I learned more about the development of Canada between the french and english from visiting sites and trying to find family names then I ever did in school.
For instance, did anyone know that Quebec had a major earthquake in the 1600?

okay enough of that!

I didn't grow up in Ontario, I learned about Canadian history before then, but beyond that he did say he had to learn the states and where they were located, the could be all he had to learn about Canada too.

Personally, I don't care for the school system in Ontario, the college level seems alright but for academics in grade school I prefer Alberta or Manitoba.

A lot of women have that problem.

Snoop, the West Coast is easy - three states, north to south, Washington, Oregon, and California.

Some say Baja should be part of California, but that's Mexico. I don't know how that happened any more than I know that Canada is anything but a bunch of beared fur trappers. That's where our Canada history lesson stopped.

I'm so glad I don't live in a rectangular state. I'd feel terribly dull and boring.

Colorado makes up for it's rectangular-ness with its vertical height.

What's Wyoming's excuse?

There is no excuse - they gave us Dick Cheney.

On my road trips I enjoyed looking out for the State descriptions on the license plates, like California's, "The Sunshine State", Idaho's, "The Potato state." Does anyone know if there's one more pathetic than Idaho's?

Pennsylvania – The Keystone State

And Florida is The Sunshine State…I think we've copyrighted the slogan. Our oranges are better than California's, too.

Oh yeah, California is "The Golden State".

And Oregon is "The Beaver State". Hah.

No wonder it's so hard to send him back. By the looks of it, he's pretty much a round peg in a square hole.
