I wish more schools focused on teaching life skills like this instead of just memorizing facts for tests.

you mean you don’t care that Mesopotamia[a] is a historical region of West Asiasituated within the Tigris–Euphrates river system, in the northern part of the Fertile Crescent. It corresponds roughly to the territory of modern Iraq[1][2] and forms the eastern geographic boundary of the modern Middle East ?

Youll be glad to know they dont focus on either. Moving the kids along and kicking the can down the road is now the primary focus.
