I’ve had people tell me they were shocked to find out NY is actually big, thinking it was only Manhattan in the first place.
Wha?
Quiz them on these four basic parts of speech and see how they do.
Noun, verb, adjective, adverb.
Not for at least the past 20 years. And no, I am not kidding.
As an upstate NYr you can't just tell people you are from NY, because they think you are from Manhattan.
I checked the map ...
She is right ... Alaska is an island

When I was in high school in Sacramento I got into trouble with my history teacher because I said gold was discovered in Coloma and not Sacramento like the book said. The same book mislabeled the SF Bay Bridge as the Golden Gate and I ended up in detention.

My kids were all taught geology and world geology.
The schools where I live are excellent.

Many years ago I was sitting in a college library when several teachers masters students came in and were discussing their geography exam. All three failed. The exam was a map of the United States without the names of the states on each state. Their test was to write the names of the states on the state. Passing grade was 60%.
I thought everyone knew that.
