British students miserably fail a recent national geography quiz. Apparently "ass" and "hole in the ground" were left of the list.


1 in 5 can't find the UK on a map, 2/3 don't know where the US is and over 1,000 of the students polled didn't know that London was the capital.
(I haven't seen figures on an American geographical poll, but I can only imagine it would be just as stellar).

Just another example of America's school falling behind...wait you did say American schools right? I thought that's all people ever talked about.
