British Pupils: President Bush Should Learn Geography LessonA class of British 11-year-olds said US President George W. Bush should go back to school after he sent them a letter describing them as young Americans.Pupils at Oakhill College in Lancashire, northwest England, were thrilled to get a signed letter from the president after they sent him congratulations on his inauguration, assistant bursar Cathryn Robbins said on Wednesday. But their awe-struck silence was soon replaced by gales of laughter when their teacher read the letter out loud. "As young Americans, you have an important responsibility, which is to become good citizens," the letter said. "I hope you will continue to learn more about our wonderful country. School provides the right foundation so I urge you to study hard. Then you can be well-prepared for the future." The children decided that although Bush was one of the most powerful men in the world, they could teach him something about geography, Robbins said. |
