Seems like she should be taking geography instead. I wonder how students sometimes get S far as they do.

Should have just told her Canada. And Alaska is Cold America while Hawaii is Hot America.

Sounds like she doesn't have much up north.

Once a guy told me that isn't Germany next to Texas, and said that isn't far at all cuz I told him I have been to Germany. So no surprise when she asked you where is North America. I feel your pain.

I'm honestly hoping she was kidding. But knowing how and uninformed some of the younger generation is, I wouldn't be surprised at all. People still don't know that Africa is not a country.

Did she follow up by asking if she's going to have to pay to build the wall between North America and President Trump's America?

It's a little bit higher up than South America.

Lol at people hitting the "that could have happened to me" button, I would sure hope not.

What age group do you teach?

I teach the 8th grade.

Someone once asked me where in Paris England was. It's surprisingly easy to get through life with no geographical awareness.
