Just a second. Watch this first.
I didn't see what I just saw, did I? Is this how our schools are now? I know I have been out for a few years now, but we can't be that bad, can we?
Here's a Canadian translation of what she said.
Firstly, some Americans don't know where America is on a map because they don't have maps. This is because we don't teach them the value of studying the geographic structure of our planet. Furthermore, the same people who have trouble locating our country on a map wouldn't be able to find South Africa or Iraq either. This also illustrates our failure in educating our own countrymen and women.
Education is so important, in the first case, because it allows us to help ourselves — to make a better country for us to live in. But, also, education at home means that we'll be able to help people in places like South Africa and Iraq. Without education, we risk our future.
