What the hell kind of hardcore geography class has you hand drawing the 48 contiguous states from memory?

    My 7th grade geography class had a test where we drew in all the states and then had to label them along with the capitals. Bit of a pain at the time but ultimately knowing that geography in general has been somewhat helpful as an overall life skill.

    My eighth grade us history teacher gave quizzes like, you're in Oklahoma, go north two states and go east one state. What state are you now in and what is the capital? Don't remember capitals well but kept sense of geography.

    I think I've been in classes where I've had to memorize that stuff. TBH, there's probably a mnemonic to remember them all.
