    I don’t get it,
    from my memory of geography class in 5th to 8th grade, in elementary, we extensively learned about all kinds of maps, and projections, so teaching kids 3-4 is huge downgrade.

      didn’t mean only teach 3-4, just to not regularly use one projection. use a handful so no one instinctively learns to accept one.

      even though you learned a lot of maps, it’s likely most maps you used when not learning about different projections were the same.
