Central goes from Guatemala to Panama. Mexico still.north america, that's what I learned at school, unless americans change it.

Am American, when I was in school (just about 6 years ago), I was taught that everything above Panama is North America and below is South.

Central America wasn't considered a continent but just a way to label a region, similar to the label middle east. Central America was, as you described, below Mexico to above Colombia.

this is correct

But if we labelled the US as central it would be funny and probably piss off some bigots.
