At breakfast this morning, Sam was telling us about his (5th grade) social studies class yesterday. During the course of his class, one of his students asked him why Great Britain was also called the United Kingdom. Sam explained that the UK was made up of three countries - England (English), Scotland (Scottish) and Wales where the Welch people came from. And one of the kids said, "Is that where Welches grape juice comes from, too?" Fast forwarding - you can almost hear it - they were also talking about Samuel Adams and when Sam asked who Samuel Adams was, he got the response, "A beer!" Any wonder why he's tired of "teaching to the test?" Just sayin' . . .
