If children are the future... we're in for quite a ride

I'm such a terrible blogger (and a terrible everything, but let's focus on my blogging for now).

It's been over a month now, and a LOT happened since that last birthday post.

We have a new show, we already taped the first four episodes, I did castings and questions and whew... it was nothing like I thought it would be.

I have been visiting schools (since the casting involves 10 - 11 year olds) and have been quite disappointed with the mexican school system. No surprise there, huh?

Truth be told, I *was* a bit surprised, since I only visited private schools and some of them are supposedly the best schools in the country.

I am SURE that when I was 11, I knew the capital of Canada is Ottawa, or that the capital of Germany is Berlin. (A kid actually answered "Spain" for the Germany question and another girl was obviously given the answer, but she REALLY needs to check her hearing. Either that or Merlin was not only King Arthur's adviser and we have to recheck those books).

Two of my grandparents were teachers in Spain before they came to Mexico as refugees during the Spanish Civil War... both of them are rolling in their graves because of the answers I got.

Today, I have an appointment with another school in a couple of hours.

Let's hope they don't make me consider homeschooling my kids (if/ when I have them). Because it's tempting after what I've seen.
