A new school year, new lessons learned.

"Wait, did they have car's in 1950?"

"What's the capitol of Rhode Island?" "Washington DC"

"Isn't the capitol of Maryland Washington DC?"

All of these were said in my classroom by the same student. Why she thought Washington DC was the capitol of both Rhode Island and Maryland is still a mystery. And Why she was talking about history and geography in my English class is an even better question... or maybe the better question is why I wasn't surprised at these conversations when I have only met this student last week... Hmm points to ponder.
