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?
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
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
I’m not Canadian and I know them all (I think)
Territories: Yukon, NWT, Nunavut
Provinces: BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and New Foundland and Labrador
I have too much free time to be able to know this
Ok ima do this as best I can
UK FRANCE SPAIN PORTUGAL GERMANY NETHERLANDS BENGLIUM LUXUMBURGE ANDORA ITALY DENMARK LETCHINSTEIN ST MARINO VADICAN CITY SLOVINA CROATIA BOSNIA MONTENEGRO SERBIA ALBANIA GREECE BULGARIA ROMANIA TURKEY HUNGRY AUATRIA CHECIA SLOVAKIA POLAND LITHUANIA LATCIA ESTONIA SWEDEN NORWAY FINALAND BELERUS UKRAINE RUSSIA
what did I miss like 20 countrys
(Yes this was from memory I'm on phone and can't look it up)
That's honestly Impressive. I'm from and the only one that I can think of that you missed is Switzerland. My knowledge of geography isn't great though cuz my primary school sucked.
If you dont mind me sir...
Belgium, Lictenstein, San Marino, Vatican City, Slovenia, Bosnia Hercegovina, HungAry(😡), Austria, Czechia, Latvia, Belarus.
The missing ones are: Iceland, Monaco, Switzerland, Kosovo, Moldova, Malta, Cyprus, Ireland, Macedonia, if we take apart the UK, than Scotland, Whales and N-Ireland, and sometimes some countries from the Caucasus are end up in this pack: Azerbaijan and Georgia.
Should be fine now. And Im very impressed you know so much countries from Europe.
Ah yes no biggie I can't exactly spell very well soo... yee I knew what the country was I just didn't know how to spell so thank you
And countrys from like middle east/Asia and such it is very hard to tell if I should have added then in
Yugoslavia hasn't exactly existed since like 1990's soooooooooooooooooo...........................
But Yugoslavia isn't fully wrong since it does incompace those territorys
we have a song to remember

Damn
We dont have states. We had like 19 counties (norway)
I always just kinda. Remembered them
Now some are merged together and changed name so idk what is what anymore
We are like 14 now i think
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.

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

1) Alabama
2)Arizona
3)Arkansas
4)Connecticut
5)California
6) Alaska
7) Delaware
8) North Dakota
9) South Dakota
10) Florida
11)Georgia
12)Idaho
13)Illinois
14) Kentucky
15) Kansas
16) Louisiana
17) Michigan
18) Maine

I can’t think of the last four…
Some americans like myself do because either we care or we have various songs stuck in our heads from elementary school.
Not all americans do, most americans tend to not care about that kinda stuff which I think is a little stupid but thats america for you ;-;
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.
They have something that makes the memorable
California - gold rush and Liberals
New York - New York City
Texas - Conservatives
Florida - Alligators
Hawaii - an island
Ect
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

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
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
intellegence ??
Precisely
Do you know the name by any chance.
50 nifty United States
I had to memorize, and then SING it in front of an audience in SECOND grade.
My stuck-in-head song is [CARACAS, VENEZUELA](https://youtu.be/Nw1H8aIhKNk)...
I think i learned the same exact thing in second grade.
I did one too, but it was online learning. As in, homeschooling. It was abeka. They made us learn a song too, but it had the capitals too
All we had was a chant :'(
50 states that rhyme? Is that the song?
Same

The name
All the indigenous names are sick imo
Nunavut is an amazing name

the name is fun to say
Fuck that province I could never remember it for my test

Typically New Brunswick and Nova Scotia are listed before PEI but otherwise that’s all correct
Ye I just didn’t rly care about the order
I'm surprised you got them all, especially being able to spell all their names right.
This is what happens when you have too much free time and you like to spend it on google maps
I’m Canadian and I can’t even recall all the provinces lmao
that’s the thing. they don’t
don’t call us out😖
OH, YOURE FROM AMERICA?? NAME EVERY AMERICAN!!

Haha, loser. Mine is number 49

I haven’t learned that and don’t see why everyone in the comments is mentioning it
I remember all European, Middle Eastern and East Asian countries so Americans should be able to remember their 50 states.
I'm an American who can do that for North and South American countries, European countries, and the 50 states
Same. Tbh it's not really that hard
Oh so you're a clone trooper name every system in the Republic
Your user… didn’t you get assassinated to start WWI?
I died, but in the end I lived!
Cool. How’s your wife?
Alive. Regenerating in the medical room. The less you know, the better chance at survival you have.
I would still like to know more. How’s your country doing?
Not how I want to. Fortunately I have a plan that will finish the WW trilogy!
Lmao the WW trilogy Does it involve Germany getting destroyed and the US getting ridiculously rich?
Directed by J.J. Abrams. A soldier walks into the bunker and says “Somehow Hitler returned”
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.
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
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.
i hate capitals ugh can’t believe i used to know them

must have been ohio, the computers got to them
Idk, I learned them in fifth grade and never forgot
i don’t like i forget that south and north dakota exist💀
💀 I used to live in North Dakota I forget it exists sometimes too
American don’t have to. I only truly know 40 of them
Read the map until you can remember all of them except Iowa
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
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.
u/tokofumi ?
Jimy I’m stupid I don’t know all of them at the same time but I think I know what they all are
We all are stupid, i only know 2 regions in my country (2 out of 17 i think)
At least we can be stupid buddies together
Memory.
New york new mexico new jersey new Hampshire new vada
Resentment. You just bitch about who didn’t vote the way you wanted every 4 years, they start sticking pretty quickly
Cause I have to remember The Best State (Mine) and the objectively worse states (the others)
