Today, I heard two of my students having a conversation. One asked what state Arizona was in, and the other replied Canada. I teach sixth grade social studies and they weren't joking. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, in the senior class I teach, I asked my students who had traveled outside of the country, excluding Canada and Mexico. One student raised his hand and proudly stated, "Arizona". He wants to be a doctor. FML
Today, while teaching my history class, a girl asked me where North America was. She lives in North America. FML
Today, I was giving an anti-drugs speech to a group of ninth graders. I got onto the topic of trafficking from problem countries and asked a student to point out Mexico City on a map. He hesitated a few seconds before pointing at Canada. What the hell has the education system come to? FML
Today, some people in my class here in New Zealand found out that I'm from Canada, then spent the rest of the period asking if I had a pet moose and whether or not I lived in an igloo. They were completely genuine questions. FML
Today, I actually had to explain to two of my friends that neither Alaska nor Nebraska are in Canada. I think I need new friends. FML
Today, I got a call from an angry parent telling me that I'm teaching her son and the other children in the class "wrong philosophies". This was all because I explained to the class that Michigan is divided into two parts. FML
Today, I heard a teenage boy ask his friend, "So, is it, like, November in Australia too?" This is the future of America. FML
Today, during a lecture, my teacher jokingly talked about the time he was best buds with George Washington. Another student then asked, "Really? You knew him?" I'm in an advanced placement U.S. history class. FML
Today, my best friend called me a moron for disputing her belief that Canada is in South America. FML
Today, as two of my students walked into my classroom, I said, "Hi, ladies". One of them screamed at me: "Did you just assume my gender?!" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Canada is not part of the states, part of our Canadian history is when we sent the American colonies packing when they attempted and failed to conquer Canada lol!

I work as a 7th grade Social Studies Teacher and one student thought Germany and Japan were states, so I feel your pain.

I feel your pain as well. People in my class don't even know that Texas is a state. I'm in a high school honors class.

I am so tired of people calling each other stupid on here! Also, using the term "retard" so liberally is ignorant. There is nothing wrong with being developmentally delayed and using "retard" in the context that is it used on here gives it a derrogatory meaning. The irony of calling someone a "retard" is amusing. Smarten up and get with the times!

110, First of all, don't subscribe to the Times. Second, there's in inherent hypocrisy in calling people who use the word "stupid" ignorant. Third, since "retard" is from the French expression "au retard "late", as is the word "tardy," it is reasonable to surmise that people who say things that they should know by now are incorrect are "retards" for being late to get the clue.
