The Germany thing just makes me think the person was putting it on tbh. Pretending to be dumb for the sake of it.

I can understand some of the stuff posted, like Easter Island (maybe not a teacher but the average person yeah) and that.

But not Germany.

Or Hitler.

How does an adult not know stuff like that?

I once met a person who hadn't ever heard about native indians. Cowboys, indians, feathers in their hair, tomahawk axes, buffaloes, etc... Native indians didn't ring any bells to this person. This guy must have never watched any movies or read any comics as a kid. Maybe he spent his formative years staring into a brick wall.

I would have said to her "Well, not yet. But it has the raw talent, so if it applies itself, works really hard and takes the proper advice from the right people, yeah, the sun could become a real star." :laughing:

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:
These are teacher salaries in America by state (convert from dollars obviously). This is why nobody with half a brain wants to waste their mountain of student debt teaching to kids who don't care.

This is anectdotal but I don’t think salary or workload actually drives many people from the profession. It’s the absolutely psychologically torturous conditions inside the classrooms that’s the killer. “Stay in School” and “Dropout Prevention” go pretty much unquestioned. But it only takes about a month before every teacher realizes that about 5% of the kids make everyone else completely miserable. When it turns out this 5% is black they’re not getting in trouble for bullying and disruption, oh no, it’s racism. Yep, it turns out that thousands of teachers have intentionally ruined their own lives to write discipline reports on one in twenty black kids. All through college these future teachers were plotting it. When I get in the classroom one out of every twenty black kids is going down.
