Of course, homeschooling our childrenMy kids are in public school and know geography pretty well ---partly because they learn map reading on family trips to different states. If these kids don't know where the Pacific Ocean is, it's very doubtful their parents know where it is ---also these kids are the kids likely to have children quite soon themselves ----homeschooling only works in the families whose kids would do okay either with homeschool or public school. I can't imagine what homeschooling would do these kids.

Thanks. I'll post results next week from my experiments.
Since I am traveling with a bus load of Jr. High kids this weekend, I might pull this out and test them. All church kids, half from urban south Dallas, half from suburbs.
Might have interesting results.
