No Sympathy!

I cut my finger on a can of Campbell's tomato soup while cooking dinner. My dear hubby heard me squeal, came in kitchen, said, "Yup" and slapped a band-aid on it for me. Ain't he sweet? At the dinner table Grayson noticed my band-aid and was upset so he kissed my boo-boo. Now he is sweet.

Colin looked at my finger after Grayson kissed it and said "Ohh! Mom you have the Japan flag on your finger." Not quite the reaction I wanted (OK I wanted sympathy, lots and lots of sympathy!) but seriously I want to know how many kindergarteners back home have even heard of Japan much less know what the flag looks like?

    Most knowledge comes from experience and exposure.

    I realize geography, as a subject, hasn't been studied in the states since Grandma's day, but they actually teach geography at JIS.

    Geography as a stand alone subject is not taught until High School. Then, I believe, it is an electivec. Geography is taught through Social Studies here with an emphasis on geography 2 times a week. Not enough, but then again, it is not a tested area! It ALWAYS comes back to "The Test".
