2000!?! Wow, that would make me feel so old! I graduated HS that year. I mean, the kids I teach were only born in '96, but 2000 just hits me harder!

i graduated in 2000 too, so when i saw that the majority of them were born in 2000 i was like 'omg... youve never seen a tamagachi....or a real Furby... or a Teddy Ruxpin...'

Re: this is why i teach
I did a study with children under 7 and we had to ask their birthdays. I never got used to the parents saying like 2003 and 2005 - I wasn't really cognizant of the fact that people were born after 1990.
