So did mine, along with reading, writing, maths, science and history, but while telling the time on a 24 hour clock might be considered a life skill which should be a parents' responsibility, I think it's a bit unrealistic to assume that all children will be taught geography by their parents. After all, the young girls I overheard yesterday will one day be parents, and if they don't know whether the USA is a country or not now then I'm unconvinced they'll know any better later.
