If it is not, than you shouldn't refer to it as America, it doesn't get any simpler than that.
and there is no such thing as 2 continents of America. America is ONE BIG CONTINENT (actually a big island since no continents exist on earth) and there is a SOCIAL division of 3: south, central and north America. it's the same as eastern and western Europe and North saarian/ south saarian Africa but you don't see people calling Europe and Africa as two continents each, do you?
what do they teach in US schools?

No, but I know plenty that say Europe and Asia are 2 continents. And they are separated by what exactly? The Ural mountains mostly. Rather arbitrary, wouldn't you say?

Europe Asia and Africa are not separeted, they are the same island but i didnt mention because the focus was on America.

But we call them separate continents, do we not? Just as we call North and South America separate continents despite being part of the same land mass.
