I was reminded today of the dumbest thing a teacher has ever said to me. It was my 10th grade World History teacher.

“The Thirty Years War…obviously lasted thirty years. And that’s a long time if you think about it. I mean, if you were born when you were five…it wouldn’t be over til you were like 25!”

I was blown away that anyone over the age of 10 could utter the phrase, “If you were born when you were five.” And that doesn’t even take into account the fact that she botched the simple addition problem that was the WHOLE POINT of her saying ANYTHING. I mean, she’d said the word “thirty” twice already…how did “twenty” slip into there??

Also, she once wrote the word “Brahmin” on the board as “Brauti”. She looked at it again, then nodded to herself before moving on. Some people are just terrible spellers, and lord knows she was one of them, but that spelling is “impressionistic” at best.

Sarcastically hilarious? Sure, I guess.

Well then. 

Heh.  It even looks like me.

It’s upsetting how true this is.

Hrmmm…
