Hm, I don't remember well what I learned during my 8th grade, which in Brazil used to be ~14 years until a couple of years ago, so no idea how I'd compare.

Considering how nonsensical English phonetics are, anything kids spelled for the first part should be right. Regarding geography, it certainly feels like anything regarding other countries was fully removed not long after.
