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.

      Biscuit in the Basket- when Carolina scores on a power play, you get a free Bo Berry biscuit.  Donuts at Home- when the NY Rangers get shut out at home, you get a free Krispy Kreme donut.

      Evans really needs to be getting more PT. Especially over Sanders     Don't forget who our head coach is.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      One of the only moments in his entire career where he actually impressed me was when he had the shimmer in his eye and grin on his face before that final drive on Sunday.  When I saw the look on his face I knew we were going to go right down the field and win.  You could see in his eyes he knew he had the game won.    I think a lot of that had to do with him knowing Rico was feeling good and the Packers defense was gassed, and not necessarily confidence in his own abilities, but I digress...
