I know a few members in each of those governments and I know a little about how the country operates, but compare what they know about America to what I know about their country. I feel like an idiot sometimes.
If it weren't for schoolhouse rock I wouldn't know how a bill became a law, the preamble to the constitution, or about the declaration of independence... To a kid in school that's pretty dry stuff... to have to learn about another country's versions of those things.. would be even dryer...

Is Edu-tainment the way that kids learn? more than 20 years later, I can still sing the preamble.. I've not forgotten that schoolhouse rock... maybe schoolhouse rock needs to have a version for each country... I'd watch..
