Learning more about geography

 In school, I was good in geography.  I never studied for a geography test.  As if it was too easy for me.  I guess if I studied a little bit more, I would have even better notes.  I think that my motivation to study would have been heightened if I learned things like in this article:
http://geography.about.com/od/globalproblemsandissues/fl/Why-Is-The-Aral-Sea-Shrinking.htm
It is on the causes of the shrinking of the Aral Sea and what is happening right now with that sea.  I find it sad it isn't more in the news.  It deserved to be talked about.

I guess there must be other places like that.  It may be silly but I feel that I lack knowledge.  It makes me feel that I haven't learned much in my geopraphy classes in high school.  It seems that I learn more without searching and out of school than when I was at school.  It is a bit frustrating because school are there to makes connection between learning and the students.
