Very astonishing how some people don't know where the PANAMA canal are! Also makes me wonder if the education system in the U.S. is not as good as I thought. I believe this shows that the school system should really focus more on geography and demographics as well.

I really hope this is spread out to the educational system. It has to be enforced for us to know where certain countries, or states are. It's sad what lack we have in geography, when geography is involved in our everyday lives.

Wow this video was very interesting. I was surprised at how this generation of seniors that we're going on to college did not know the answers to those questions. I mean I didn't know a couple but they could not answer them at all

Although this was funny, if you really think about it, it's sort of sad how so many people do not know about geography. I think this should be spread around more for our future generations to see and learn from

This video surprised me and made me laugh at the same time. It shows how little education is to some students and don't take it seriously.

This video was very painful to watch. It really saddens me that young minds don't really care to learn as much as they could

Very sad to watch. I remember my 8th grade geography teacher (1998) assigned a project where we all had to pick a state. I chose Alaska due to the history involving the pipeline. My teacher told me that I would have to choose a state in the United States. I looked at her and said "Im very sorry but Alaska is not a foreign country, its a state just like us."
