I was talking about the 2010 elections, and stumped my 15 year old sophomore in high school. He was like what 2010 elections.
Then I proceeded to ask him how often congress is re-elected and then the senate. He knew the president was every 4 years, and he guessed that the senate was every 6 years. He didn’t know that the senators are voted in at different intervals.
He’s been in public and private school throughout the years, and I take the blame for not making sure he doesn’t know simple US government.
I did mean to say the house of representatives is elected every 2 years.
Good for you for noticing what they aren’t teaching in school.
The rest is up to you now.

Who should we blame for your use of the expression “He was like” rather than he asked. Maybe I sound like the grammar police but that has always grated on my nerves.
