Genius strikes again?

Well... I learned that I'm not the only one who is being taught these new lessons in school. A fellow collegue was telling a story at lunch the other day... she happens to teach Social Studies, as do I.
She asked her students (who were mine last year) to write the names of the 6 New England states as a bonus question on a test. The responses?

Cape Cod
Mississippi
Europe
North Dakota


and she mentioned to them that she heard me actually teach them the correct answers...

makes me feel a bit better about my own geographical deficiencies... but also makes me wonder- what happens to brains over the summer?
