We might need to review some basic geography concepts before the mandatory state tests...

Me: "What continent do we live on?"

Student 1: "Virginia"

Me: "Nope. Remember the song that we always sing? The seven continents are: North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, Australia, and Antarctica."

Student 1: "Okay. Umm, South America."

Me: "No." Moving on.



Later that day, same student, plus another boy.

Me: Where do EUROPEans come from?

SAME Student 1: "Asia"

Me: (internally) "AHHHH"

Student 2: "Ohh, I know I know!"

Me: (phew) "Good, okay, where do EUROPEans come from?"

Student 2: "Russia!"

Me: "Noooo. Believe it or not, they come from EUROPE. That's actually why they're called EUROPEans."

SAME Student 1: "Huh. That makes a lot of sense."

YES, IT DOES!
