A friend of mine went over to the US for a year, and because we live in Australia, we never had to say the pledge. At the parent teacher interview in the middle of the year, her mother said to the teacher, "Natasha's finally learnt the words to the pledge" and the teacher said "Oh, don't you say that in Australia?"
