Facepalm Moment

Today in my first period, I was teaching weather expressions in Spanish. One of the activities from the book was asking what the weather was like in certain places in a certain month. For example:

En Louisiana en noviembre

One of my students didn't know where Lousiana was. One of the students next her said "Do you know where New Orleans is" and she responded "Whats that?"

I seriously facepalmed right there. Our country is doomed if this is our future.

how old?

i still don't have a great knowledge of geography.

10th grader. I can understand not knowing exactly where its at, but you should at least know its in the south east.

And like it or not (despite mother nature's attempts) New Orleans is still a major city. I can't believe she didn't know what it was.

Wow what an idiot. Has she never heard of Mardi Gras? That would probably be the only thing she would recognize maybe....but yeah she was around when Katrina hit...

Props to you for teaching Espanol, I love the language.

Ha, thanks. The favorite thing I get in class is "Do I have to answer this in Spanish?" or "You know we don't speak Spanish right?

Really? 10th grade and if you don't know the states and roughly where they are at in the US. Then it's a good thing 12/21/12 is alomst here, because we are doomed for that next generation to take over.

      Fire Rod

      I agree that roster construction is a bigger issue than Rod.  I don't know what coach behind the bench is winning this series.  We weren't even supposed to compete this year, but people are mad because we're getting swept in the ECF again.  If we lost in 7 last round people wouldn't feel that way.

      And I won't even get into our forward lines... We have three legit forwards in aho, Svech, and Jarvis and a bunch of grinders. There is a reason why we have a hard time putting the puck in the net - nobody on this team knows how to shoot

      I was more inclined to say fire rod last year than this year. I still think we are lacking significant talent on this team. Without chatty, our defense has old man burns who is washed, ghostbear who is a one-way player, orlov who makes numerous awful turnovers each game, a solid walker, and slavin. I think we are all definitely mad that nikishin didn't play, but we weren't winning this game with them anyway. The entire team came out flat, which is inexcusable at home down a game. If rod couldn't fire them up, I don't think any coach in the NHL does.  Florida is the worst possible matchup for us because they play very similar to us but are better at doing it. It sucks we're going to get swept, but I honestly thought this team was a fringe at best playoff team once we traded away mikko
