The geography courses of today are called Mental Mapping. As I've heard it described severals times lately, it is to find out the concept of what students "perceive" a place (city, state or country) to be like, look like, feel like, etc. Then to find out from them where they would like to live and how they perceive it. Apparently it's is more of a study for teachers and schools to find out how kids think, probably find out what their influences at home are, then throw in a lot of liberal indoctrination. It appears there is little actual geography taught in these classes.

Not much useful learning going on then.

More of the dumbing down of America.

Sounds like complete BS to me. I enjoyed geography quite a bit. However, it was REAL geography not this "perceive" BS.
