Actually, geography may not be the greatest thing to indicate how our students are doing.

I consider myself above average in brains, but if you took a blank political map of the world and asked me which one was the Central African Republic, I would be up a creek. If you asked me to fill in all the names, I would probably miss most of Africa and screw up European countries like Bulgaria and Romania. I'm also not too crisp on the northern part of South America or the Indonesian islands. Hey, I could find Iraq though.

The survey seems to be reliably conducted. They have a sample survey there as well, which I will dive into now and get back to you.
