LOL....I heard that clip on the radio a couple of times yesterday.....made me cringe every time. Just makes ya all warm and fuzzy with confidence in our future generations, doesn't it?


(BTW....I think it was a bogus question to begin with, that 20% of Americans can't find the US on a world map. If I'd been in her shoes, I would have said "Prove it." )

[python.princess]

umm..... where did all the talk about south africa come from?!? thought the question was about AMERICANS being able to find AMERICA???
and, i have to agree with judy on this one... if it's a valid question and 20% can't find it, what age group did they poll???

oh god...

Hi,


Yeah I don't beleive that either - I mean it's no exactly wee is it? Kinda hard to miss. ( and this from someone who has no idea what state goes where. ) I mean even if you spin the globe with your eyes shut and stab randomly haven't you got about a 25% chance of hitting it as long as you get the hemisphere right or something? I dont have a globe to check this out but it might be a fun way to keep the kids quiet for an hour or so if you have one.

Whenever someone quotes statistics I always just assume they are being deceptive and demand all the specifics of the data set. In this case the first suspicion is they asked young children. If 20% of your population can't point to where they live put em on a plane and wave goodbye with a glad heart.

I think she studied for a different test...

But seriously, who really thinks a pageant contestestant represents the majority of American students?

I did see one funny comment on one of the articles that left me giggling:
"Whitney Houston called...she no longer believes the children are our future.."

[rushchaser]

That is funny as HELLL !!!!!!!!!!

Maybe the 20% in that quoted statistic included all the 1 and 2 year olds who don't even know what a globe is yet.
