When I went to hedge school, at least the wizards and monks all knew their stuff. It's disgraceful to say that teachers - surely, in terms of knowledge, the most relied (or expected to be able to be relied) upon other than doctors and lawyers - are so badly trained and so ill-informed. Batty, your story about the Lieutenant is a glaring example, and exactly as you say: even if you don't know the name, how could someone with so low a rank be a supreme commander? It's not like they were like that guy in World War II, Sergeant Montgomery. :rolleyes:

In many states you can teach for three years without proper certification. When they replace teachers with “permanent subs” there’s almost no vetting process at all. In the roughest schools they’ll take anyone who will stay in the classroom. That’s against the law but they can’t get people to do it so they look the other way.

American teachers are cannibals too, on top of everything else? Damn.

Jokes aside. It’s a different skill set. I’m not saying one’s easier. I know it’s a competitive job over there. Not Denmark but I remember they showed us videos from Norway and were like teach like that and we were like give us those students and we might.

This is the same kind of person who had to ask if Germany was a country. These aren't mentally deficient people, just mind numbingly average people with a depressing level of familiarity with anything outside their immediate cultural sphere.

The Insane Clown Posse are not an anomaly. They represent the intelligence of waaaaaaaay more people than any of you want to admit.

I remember this :laughing:

That annoyed me a bit when you posted that a while back.

i remember a girl in grade 11 or 12 global history asking what hitler’s last name was

One of my history professors told the class that bombing Hiroshima was necessary.

I took an astronomy class in college where, in the last class, when the professor was recapping the whole semester, a woman raised her hand and asked, in complete seriousness, "So… the Sun is a star?"
