Other African nations include; and please note their is no attempt to list all or in any particular order: Morocco, Egypt, Sudan Congo, Ivory Coast, Madagascar, Botswana, Zambia, Liberia and many others.

Asian nations part of the continent of Asia include; China, India, Taiwan, Singapore, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Japan etc.

Central American nations include; Honduras, Guatemala, Belize, Costa Rica, etc.

So why did you cut all your global history classes Joe?

Yes, and it gets even more confusing. How about New Mexico ? I bet there are parts of New Mexico that are older than, ummm, Old mexico ...and than there are New England and New Zealand, where the fuck is Old Zealand ? ,,,and how about New South Wales ??? It's all so confusing, I think I'll just go shopping. See ya in 2012.

btw- I asked my 14 yr old wise-ass yesterday if he could tell me what countries were in NAFTA. He first told me what NAFTA stands for and then named the countries. I asked how he knew that and he said 7th grade Civics.
 
Hey, my 14 yr old wise-ass is over qualified to run for VP of the USA!!!
 
(Thank G-d Obama won!)

Hooray for Palm Beach County school system. I asked my 16 year-old niece also in PBC, she said, and I quote, "Which countries are in NAFTA? As in the North American Free Trade Agreement? Please tell me auntie ____ that you know what THREE countries are in North America."

She emphaszied 'three' as though she were trying to give me a hint. After I explained to her that I knew, and Palin didn't, I realized my family is FULL of smart-ass, sarcastic little mofos.

We have many issues, and personally, I think many miles to go before reaching the level of most of the school systems in NY/NJ (where I'm from), but we care about our kids and do our best. And requiring Civics for all 7th graders has proven a great idea!
