My wife teaches at our local high school, which also has some primary classes.
Yesterday she relieved for a teacher who teaches the little ones.
She decided to have a "current affairs" topic for the kids, with questions like"
"Who is the Prime Minister?"
"Who is the Queen of England?" etc
When she asked "Who is Barack Obama?"
One little fellow spoke up and said "He is the first Maori President, Miss."
(I guess you would need to know Maori are the indigenous people of NZ)
