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

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, 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 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

For everyone sticking up for the kids and saying they're only in 6th grade.. don't you teach kids about their own country? I know that in Australia, we had learnt the states and territories, as well as a lot of basic history about how Australia came to be by the time we were in 1st or 2nd grade. By 6th grade, I would have known long ago that Arizona was a state and Canada was a seperate country all together. So don't just say 'Oh, they're only 11 so it's alright'. This is why the rest of the world thinks you're all idiots.
