South Africa is to Africa as the United States is to North America. The one is a subset of the other, being a nation in a particular continent. Other North American nations include Canada and Mexico and France (two small colonies off Canada). Other African nations include; and please note their is no attempt to list all or in any particular order: Morocco, Egypt, Sudan Congo, Ivory Coast, Madagascar, Botswana, Zambia, Liberia and many others. Asian nations part of the continent of Asia include; China, India, Taiwan, Singapore, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Japan etc. Central American nations include; Honduras, Guatemala, Belize, Costa Rica, etc. So why did you cut all your global history classes Joe?

How about New Mexico ? I bet there are parts of New Mexico that are older than, ummm, Old mexico ...and than there are New England and New Zealand, where the fuck is Old Zealand ? ,,,and how about New South Wales ??? It's all so confusing, I think I'll just go shopping. See ya in 2012.

snicker btw- I asked my 14 yr old wise-ass yesterday if he could tell me what countries were in NAFTA. He first told me what NAFTA stands for and then named the countries. I asked how he knew that and he said 7th grade Civics. Hey, my 14 yr old wise-ass is over qualified to run for VP of the USA!!! (Thank G-d Obama won!)

I asked my 16 year-old niece also in PBC, she said, and I quote, "Which countries are in NAFTA? As in the North American Free Trade Agreement? Please tell me auntie ____ that you know what THREE countries are in North America." She emphaszied 'three' as though she were trying to give me a hint. After I explained to her that I knew, and Palin didn't, I realized my family is FULL of smart-ass, sarcastic little mofos. [8\|]

As a teacher in said system, I thank you. We have many issues, and personally, I think many miles to go before reaching the level of most of the school systems in NY/NJ (where I'm from), but we care about our kids and do our best. And requiring Civics for all 7th graders has proven a great idea!
