What's frightening is how many American kids really see the world this way. I've been homeschooling my two (now 11 and 13) since my oldest was in 1st Grade. It's funny comparing what mine know versus the public-schooled neighbor kids.
For instance I overheard a discussion the other day in the backyard. One neighbor kid says "oh your Mom is from Ohio - mine is from Michigan" - the other kid says "where's that?" and the first kid replies, "I think it's somewhere in the mid-west by Oregon." My kids just giggled and they went back to playing basketball.
It's scary - this is the future generation that will be "taking care of us" in our old age!
