I'm sure she was taught geometry in school and she probably learned where Scotland was and that it was part of the U.K. However, I've come to find, that unless you need/use that info people forget it. So, people who have never been out of the U.S. and aren't interested in international things tend to not know where countries are located, etc. However, if you travel a lot and are exposed to things like that you tend to remember it. The schools are probably teaching what they should but unless it's reinforced at home/in life, it's in one ear and out the other!Kattrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17468694888034192536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-828012796931128009.post-2462466182497564852011-10-25T04:21:58.861+02:002011-10-25T04:21:58.861+02:00Oh wow, that's pretty bad!

A...Oh yay - I shall keep my eyes on my postbox!! <br /><br />And yes, that is worrying! Once a lady in the doctors asked me my ethnicity. I said Caucasian, and she looked at me really confused. She said "no, where are you from". I told her that she meant nationality, rather than my ethnicity. She didn't like that. xxRed Bootshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16413930719489277046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-828012796931128009.post-64821924998943061802011-10-24T21:05:57.590+02:002011-10-24T21:05:57.590+02:00oh poor girl. yes, she definitely should have know...oh poor girl. yes, she definitely should have known that. i'd say it's a pretty basic piece of knowledge that people around the world possess. maybe it's just the post office? here in the u.s. i often have difficulty sending packages to u.s. territories like guam. the post office workers are often confused that i'm sending it "local" because they think it's a foreign country. how do post office workers in the u.s. not know all the territories of their own country? apparently post offices around the world don't hire the brightest minds. :)kimbirdyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02933291126592725297noreply@blogger.com
