citizenship

     I have encountered adults who do not understand that there are separate nations,  each with the right to make its own laws. When taught about an American law or concept, they assume that it is something worldwide. The same people, when asked if they are American citizens, generally answer no--without a question as to the meaning of the term. These people are obviously Americans--they have no accents, and no notion of any foreign country. Did they attend very bad schools? I believe they didn't attend school at all.

Suggestion--truancy may be America's #1 problem.
