MOSCOW, July 19 - RIA Novosti. More than half of all elementary and secondary schools in the United States does not know the geographical position of his country, said on Tuesday the agency Bloomberg with reference to a study by the U.S. Department of Education.

Only half of those surveyed students were able to grade four in the correct order Descending Square locate North America, United States, California and Los Angeles. Demonstrated knowledge of geography, only a third of young participants.

According to Professor of Geography at the University of Pennsylvania Roger M. Downs (Roger M. Downs), this situation is explained by the fact that teachers in schools today spend more time teaching math and reading at the expense of history, geography, and other natural and human sciences, knowledge of which is difficult check with standardized tests.

"(Since) class time becomes more expensive and scarce commodity, geography and other subjects such as history and art history are lost in this lose-lose game with high stakes to tests," - said Downs.

According to the results of similar studies conducted in the past year, only about a third of those surveyed students to determine distances on a map, said the agency.
