This potentially tops the question on Pointless recently;
Name a country that ends with two consonants?
A Level geography student: Paris
This is exactly what is wrong with subjects in schools. That A Level student will be one of many that give answers like that, kids don't learn about the geography that's probably quite helpful in later life, they learn about rocks and rivers.

There's probably much better paying jobs our there for people who know about rocks etc than people who can name all the capital cities.

True story here.
When my daughter was studying A Level geography she randomly asked me a question one day that went something like this.
"Dad, what's the name of that country in Africa where the Ethiopians come from."

When I first moved to Wales someone asked me how far London was from England.
