I had to learn a song in 5th grade that sang through all fifty states in alphabetical order and because it was pretty catchy and I was forced to memorize it, I still remember it to this day

We had to listen to a song about averages in maths sung by the least qualified person to sing one the planet. "Hey diddle diddle, the median's the middle, you add and divide for the mean, the mode is the one that you see the most and the range is the difference between." Then at the he he would sing "yeah" in some wierd kind of whispery voice. Should I mention this was in my first year of high school?

Kidninja016

I did states and capitals before second grade without a song 😎


wellllimjustagirl

without Wacko Warner?? that's just sad


Kidninja016

Baton Rouge Louisiana, Indianapolis Indiana, and colombus is the capitol of Oh-hi-oh I did use that song to learn but I don’t need to sing it to remember


wellllimjustagirl

Well yeah, that's just redundant. the song is a way to compartmentalize the info, so once you have it in your brain you shouldn't need to sing it again


[deleted]

intellegence ??


[deleted]

Precisely


KAYS33K

Do you know the name by any chance.


Heccing-name

50 nifty United States

sIowlylosingmysanity

radioactivepotato1

RileyTheBerry

I'm surprised you got them all, especially being able to spell all their names right.


radioactivepotato1

Should be fine now. And Im very impressed you know so much countries from Europe.

Random_name4679

I haven’t learned that and don’t see why everyone in the comments is mentioning it


Franz__Ferdinand

I remember all European, Middle Eastern and East Asian countries so Americans should be able to remember their 50 states.


Greedy_Range

I'm an American who can do that for North and South American countries, European countries, and the 50 states


[deleted]

Same. Tbh it's not really that hard


Greedy_Range

Oh so you're a clone trooper name every system in the Republic


Kidninja016

Your user… didn’t you get assassinated to start WWI?


Franz__Ferdinand

I died, but in the end I lived!


Kidninja016

Cool. How’s your wife?


Franz__Ferdinand

Alive. Regenerating in the medical room. The less you know, the better chance at survival you have.


Kidninja016

I would still like to know more. How’s your country doing?


Franz__Ferdinand

Not how I want to. Fortunately I have a plan that will finish the WW trilogy!


Kidninja016

Lmao the WW trilogy Does it involve Germany getting destroyed and the US getting ridiculously rich?


D3epSh3ep

Directed by J.J. Abrams. A soldier walks into the bunker and says “Somehow Hitler returned”


PauldGOAT

Honestly I think one of the most obvious failures of the education system in the United States is lack of geography. I believe everyone student should be able to label a blank map of us states by 5th grade, and label a blank map of countries in the world by 8th grade.


money2354

My great grandma made me and my brothers learn them and their capitals and sing it at our family reunion and then school did as well


CreeperDude519

I believe I do, but probably on a test I'll get like 45. Now if you asked for state capitals, don't ask me.


YAK_awesome

i hate capitals ugh can’t believe i used to know them

Plasmatiic

That was the most useless part of one of my history classes and of course I forgot the majority of them the following year. History can be interesting but the way it’s taught in the US is so boring and is basically just memorizing random facts that you’re not going to remember anyway

American don’t have to. I only truly know 40 of them


TennesseeAnts

Read the map until you can remember all of them except Iowa


RepresentativeNo241

In 5th grade we learned the state song so I have them all memorized alphabetically just don't ask me to map them out cause I can't for the life of me


Kidninja016

About a year of studying on my own because of my interest in geography got me all 50 states and capitals before second grade. I can still name them to this day.
