It's no secret that U.S. students are horrible at geography and have been
for some time.
Nearly three-quarters of eighth-graders tested below proficient in geography
on the 2014 National Assessment of Educational Progress – also known as
the Nation's Report Card – and that's almost exactly the same result as in
1994.
It's a similar case when looking at prior NAEP assessments of fourth- and

还是不错滴。
不过这个例子倒是明显的 correlation vs causation 的问题。这个文
章里所有数据显示的都是 crime rate (或其他的 rate) 跟大片的
geography area 的 correlation。文中再把不同的 geography area
按照 belief 的情况进行 classify，来论述 crime rate 跟 belief
之间的 correlation。首先这个是很 weak 的 correlation，因为不同
的 geography area 的差别远远不止是 belief，是不是其他的因素造成
的 correlation 未可知。另外这个 causation 的问题还可以 argue 到
底是 belief 造成 geography area 的其他方面的不同，还是 geography
area 其他方面的不同造成 belief 的不同。
