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 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, 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, while teaching my history class, a girl asked me where North America was. She lives in North America. FML

Today, I went to the doctor to get a blood test and I started crying when I saw the needle. I planned on becoming a doctor. FML

Today, my mom had the option of choosing anywhere in the world where we could go on vacation. We live in the USA and she chose to fly to Texas, rent an RV, and drive to Florida. Anywhere in the world. FML

Today, my teacher began to explain Veterans' Day and why it's on 11/11 to a new student from Iran. He said he already knew, but this was news to almost everyone else in the class. FML

Today, my teacher announced that he'd be out for a week because he was going to Vegas. I happily said, "Woo hoo!" Then he finished his sentence by telling me it was because his dad had died. FML

Today, after many hours studying a complete course of Spanish, I felt really good. I had accomplished something, something I could really use next week when I fly to Mexico on vacation. Then I found out what I had learned was Spanish as they speak it in Spain, not how they speak it in Latin America. FML

Today, I had no choice but to bring my son to work as a med school professor. I sat him in a chair in a corner while I gave a lecture. To my surprise, he added another word to his limited vocabulary, and screamed it out loud with an ecstatic expression on his face. The word is "cancer". FML

Today, I received my acceptance letter to one of the most prestigious universities in the US, as well as a nice scholarship. I was so proud of myself, I eagerly showed my dad, hoping he would shed a tear or two. His only words were, "Just get a job so you can get the hell out of my house." FML

He could still be a Love Doctor, or I heard drinking Dr. Pepper certifies you as a doctor.

But one should at least know the states in his own country by his age.

I know some fellow doctors who are horrible at geography and history. Surprisingly, it plays almost 0% role in medicine.

They don't call it Flori-DUH for nothin'. I'm not that concerned about his grasp of geography, until he knows where Uranus is. I once dated a doctor who don't think her ceiling fan had an electric motor in it. When I asked her what made it spin, she said, "I pull the string." True story!

Of course it does! They need to know where the Islets of Langerhans are . . . not to mention the Hershey Highway.

Reminds me of the doctor in the movie 'Idiocracy'. "So like your sh*t's all like, f**ked up, and like, you talk like a f*g, and you're all like, tarded. It's cool though, my first wife was tarded. She's a pilot now." If you haven't seen the movie, it does have some foul language (obviously, from the little bit I added there) but it is getting to be an almost freakishly accurate prophecy for where our society is headed.
