I'm sure many would agree with me the importance of Education in today's world. Even President Barack Obama reinforced this fact earlier this year when he was signing a new bill for Education. He said something along the lines that America is in search of highly skilled professionals and if they can't get it within, then they would go outside and get it! In other words, if America can't produce the best skilled in different fields, then they will look unto other countries who have individuals trained to be the best and bring them in.
It's interesting to know that some people would still argue and justify that education is no longer important and it is what you can do and how you apply yourself.
I said all of that only to say this:
A grandma in the school where i work just picked up her granddaughter. The teacher escorts the child to the hallway where grandma is waiting and the following conversation went on: (o, by the way, the office where i am is right by the way so i heard it all by myself and not from someone else...lol):
Teacher: Ok A, tell grandma what you learned today? Eu?
Child: the continent of Europe!
Teacher: Very good!
Grandma: wow! A, very good...and we just came back from there, we went to Mexico!
I'm in the office laughing my head off when the teacher peeps in to look at me a few minutes later...

Oh dear God! Everyone knows that Mexico is a country in the continent of Asia, not Europe!
Right?
;)
Hey Jummy, Mexico is pretty divided, a part of it is North America and the Southern part is considered Central America...
