It's a whole new semester and I have a new bunch of students. My Geography students had an assignment getting to know their textbook. One of the questions had to do with time zones. If it's 8pm February 4th in Auckland, NZ, what time is it where we live. (11pm Feb 3rd in L.A.) Some of my students had a hard time understanding that it would be the day before. I tried to explain that when I email my friend in New Zealand on Sunday afternoon he's getting ready to go home from work on Monday. One student said, "How can that be? It's like the future!" Ah - the mind of a fourteen year old!

I think they also ride skateboards without wheels (hoverboards?) over there in New Zealand.
That is too funny - definently the mind of a 14 year old.
