I'm TAing the intro to American government and politics class this semester. I had to cancel my recitations last week because of Rosh Hashana, so I assigned the students to e-mail me either questions or what they thought was a key point from the chapter. One of my students asked why the Americans were subject to British rule if they weren't in England.
Um... what? How do you get to be 18 years old - educated in a former colony, no less - and not understand what a colony is?
I got 54/60 = 90%, which is not so bad considering that I haven't taken economics since high school and I haven't done political theory in a good eight years. (That's where I missed all of my questions.)
