You know that curriculum that you just love but cannot break down and buy. I found several of those at the Memphis Curriculum Convention last weekend. One of them was Visual World Geography. I love geography, but we haven't spent as much time on it as I would like. This program is fun with great mnemonic devices, and visual mapping guides to remember the placement and name of every country in the world. I wish this was more affordable, but it will stay on my wish list.
You know geography is one of those subjects not high on the standards list in our school systems. I just can't understand why they think that learning about our physical world isn't as important as say a gerund. To be able to have an intelligent discussion about world events one must know where in the world they are in relation to other places. You might be surprised how many people don't even know the continents and oceans much less where say Liechtenstein is.
