We had a little halloween “party” at the end of the session, where the students would go around to various different tutors and they’d have to answer allegedly grade appropriate questions in order to get candy.

A tutor asks one of the students what grade he’s in.

“Seventh”

She proceeds to ask him to name a foreign country.  He has no idea what that means, so she explains “a country other than the United States.”

He thinks for a moment and offers “New York?”

She says, “No, that’s a state.  What about one of the two countries that border the US?”

He says, “huh?”

How disturbed do you think I should be?
