The other day I attended the my county's fitness festival. This is where the top kids from each elementary school come together and compete in a mini Olympics based on their fitness test scores at their school. Each kid was a card to pin on the back of his or her shirt which told the timers what school the kid was from and the events that he or she was competing in.
One timer (another PE teacher) came up to me and told me the following story about a kid after she had finished the 800 meter run. The student did not have a card on her back. So the teacher told the student that she finished in 2 minutes and 45 seconds. The teacher then asked where the student was from. The student replied, "Mexico." The teacher wanted to know the school, not the country or origin.
That is what happens when you live in the Mexico of Virginia.
