My students are all pretty intelligent people, but some of them haven't traveled that much, so I occassionally get a comment that surprises me. Today I was talking to a student about yesterday's university entrance exams. He asked me about the system at home. I told him about our GCSE and A-Level system and that I went to university in England. Ignoring my opinions on why our system is less stressful and fairer for students, upon hearing 'England' he excitedly asked "Did you meet Beckham?!".
"No I didn't meet Beckham", I replied, "England is a big country". He looked so disappointed that I couldn't help but feel bad.
