Student 1: No, you don’t!

Student 2: Yes, you do!

Student 1: President Obama isn’t from America.

Teacher: He is from Hawaii.

Student 1:: Yeah! He was born in Hawaii, which isn’t in America.

Student 2: Hawaii is part of America.

Student 1: I just have this 8th grade head full of too many facts.

Me: You aren’t in 8th grade. You’re in 9th!
____________

Sigh…

Jefferson was the first name of the president during the War of Northern Aggression, so Student 2 was almost right :D
