Quote:Having been a teacher for 27 years, I can concur with that last comment! Actually, unless you have been with a class of 15-year olds, you cannot possibly imagine just how stupid they can be (especially last thing on a Friday afternoon!)
Well I teach little ones (lower primary usually) but the things they know never ceases to surprise and delight me! The day a four year old told me that talking birds were "anthropomorphic" was the day I felt like handing over my job to him!
If only they knew so much about history and archaeology; last year a topic on Victorians revealed that most of them believed Queen Victoria lived at the same time as the dinosaurs. Ahh, for the perspective of innocent youth, eh?
