Description
I was listening to a radio show yesterday and they have a "man on the streets" show. They go out and ask things that they think people will know. Like yesterday they ask how we got July 4th Independence day. I say to myself every one knows that but most young people did not know the answer. They say it from the Civil war or world war one or world war two. or the 1812 war. lol and I thought the schools was doing a good job. Louisana is dead last in the schools and these questions was ask where the schools was in the top 10. Make you wonder how they get these scores of schools from?
Bet the whole world knows what the forth of July means to the U.S.A. Look like our schools is not teaching the young people no more.

This is in a small town south of where I live. It in Erath, Louisiana They had the streets full of flags and the houses too had flag all over the place. This is one of the best photos of the flags I took.

I'm afraid you could ask the same questions to young school people in France about our 14th Juillet and you probably could hear the same answers ;-(( ! Excellent Jock...

In a world of Camrys, a Crown Vic is not of the people, but a quadrunner might be able to mingle with the golfers. As Tony once said "I came before you and I'll be here after you". I never did quite figure out who Tony was. A guy who crosses himself with Saint Anthony's cross? Is that wholey relevant in the land of Saint Andrew's cross? Was he just Tony Penna in demon form?

You're absolutely right: it is shocking how little kids know about history, topography and spelling.
