It was my weird way of saying "watch this video; it's depressing."

lol. This video would scare my former government teacher. I took government in 12th grade. I remember he told my class that "if we ever saw Jay Leno to run in the other direction."

Does Jay Leno still do his Jay walking segments where he asks people questions? It's sad that those students didn't know the answers.

You're right, Jenny! it is sad. I was pretty shocked when I watched the video for the first time.

Yep. I'm trying to figure out who's to blame. Parents? Teachers? The media? Technology?

This is no different than Jaywalking (which includes all ages; so, it's not just the youth) and as with Jaywalking, this handful of students is not a representation of all of America's youth. To be honest, I didn't think of the United States when he asked them to name a country starting with a u. I think it's just natural, when asked about a country, that you would think of countries other than the one you are living in. But, yes, many of the responses were ridiculous.

I got to show this to my government teacher tomorrrow. He would be screaming at us if we didn't know this stuff.

I am curious. How many adults could answer those questions?

Personally , I am good in History and Spelling but not in Math.
