There is place on the Atlantic shore (I can't remember the town)

She's complaining that "the town" has done nothing to prevent
this. I keep being astonished at how stupid people can be.

Not me. US education system has very few high school level earth science
courses, unlike chemistry, biology and even physics.

I think the word would not be stupid, but ignorant--as in clueless.

I would like to include a geological skill set (reading a topo map,
knowing the difference between granite and limestone, basic natural
hazards and hydrology info to start) but none of this exists in state
graduation standards for most places, so "physical science" becomes a
science for dummies course, aggravating the situation.

PS.
You lot complaing about the state of teaching geology in schools is
exactly the same as the woman complaining about her house being
flooded. No different.
