Dear Ministry of Education, I would like to formally write to you to address the problem of you removing Geography from the year 7-8 curriculum.
If you remove Geography from the school curriculum people may not know the difference between Slovenia and Slovakia and buy a plane ticket to Slovakia to only realise it is Slovenia and you are 452 kilometres from where you are meant to be.
Recently I asked my friend Dylan what the country directly above the USA was and he said Russia. If you remove geography from the curriculum people like him's geographical knowledge will get even worse. Imagine how much of an ignominy it would be if in 20 or so years our very own Prime Minister thinks China is a South American Country because he or she did not learn geography in school.
So please, do not cut geography from the NZ year 7-8 curriculum.
Kind Regards, Charlie O'Neill
