Don't know much geography

Helped E. with his English homework again tonight. It was bad enough last week when he had to identify the flags of other countries but now he had to identify the shapes of them. On everything else I can be of great help to him, but in this area, he knows more than me. The flags of Albania, Australia, and China? What Spain looks like compared to England? I was too busy learning about group process and creativity and underprivileged populations and how to write protest letters in my progressive grade school. We never learned geography. I keep thinking I should get one of those vinyl placements with all the states filled in.....
