Geography

I'm about to go into 9th-grade, and we are required to take geography. Could anyone explain what they go over?

world maps, and where everything is located, sometimes they talk about the earth and history.

Shitty housing in Brazil, counting traffic, hills.

That is literally all we did in geography.

Landscape, maybe the making of the earth.But there is the economic geography that focuses on biggest products of a country and it's politics and all that.

In my country we started it in 3rd grade and it was then mostly about how mountains, volcanoes, earthquakes are created.
Then later at 6th grade and up we read mostly about different zones of the world 1world,2world and 3world.
We also read much about environment and global warming.

There was a lot of drawing of pictures in our school. When we were forced to do it they mostly did shit I thought was general knoledge; like what a river was and how to find north on a map.

Us history students used to call it Advanced Colouring In due to the high use of pictures to explain things.

There's a lot of tension between history and geography students. Sometimes it escalates into full-blown fistfights in the corridors.

I remember I had to draw a volcano and label all the magma and hills and flowing lava and I just couldn't be arsed and started to draw what looked to be an anus seeping with fecal matter. I just pinned it to "I'm really bad at drawing", which is what I also did in mandatory art class.

I was good at technical drawings, though.

Nah, Largs was too middle class for that, at least by sixth year when the scum had dropped out to do whatever it is they do (work in the fast food industry is my assumption). However we did get angry that they got substantially more funding than the history department, mostly becasue they pretended to be a natural science which the Head teacher was biased towards.

We took ultimate action and wrote a letter.

Why is this in the philosophy section?

They also got more funding in our school. Bastards even went to Spain and constantly got bussed around the central belt to lick windows. What did we get? Shitty wet textbooks with pictures of tractors in them about the agricultural revolution in Britain.

Writing a letter is hardcore though, I wouldn't dare go to that length.

Unless it's political/economic geography, it's pretty much the dullest thing ever. So you'll be going over how to sleep in class and not get caught a lot.

Hating geography is a philosophical position.

Maybe, but the op was just asking what geography was like,not that he hated it.

I don't remember to be honest. My geography techer was a useless idiot, completely incapable of controlling a class, so the subject amounted to little more than an hour of fannying about.

Trust me, you'll be fine, by the way, does american history bore you?

i didnt know americans had geography as a subject in school.
