Social Wait, What? Australia is a Country?

the five countries existing in the world besides america - europe, australia, africa, russia, china
 
During Covid My daughter was home from school doing her classes online. At the end of the semester I pulled her out and she is now attending a different school. I observed things that made me cringe. I refused to pay for a school filled with such horrible professors. I actually called her Dean and highlighted the events that lead to my decision, and she just shook her head and claimed they hire now based on other things besides quality:
1. An Indian professor that did not speak English running an Oral Communications class. She was unintelligible and would make up words.
2. An African American professor of Sociology that claimed the government puts chemicals in food that only affect black people, and these chemicals cause them to be poor in Math. This same professor also claimed that MLK was paid by the Government to be who he was because he was peaceful. The only way for change is through violence.
3. A male professor who says he will never give an A because the only being that can produce something perfect is God. Same guy would not allow even 1 absence even though they were in a pandemic.

His/Her main problem is arrogance. Suppose by some biographical fluke, the professor never came across the tidbit that Australia is both a country and a continent. If they simply had a normal mentality they would have become startled and curious the instant the student challenged them. In less than a minute, Google would have revealed the truth. There would have then followed a mea culpa, some private embarrassment, end of story.

In high school during the Pre-Internet Era, I was once frustrated by a teacher who refused to believe that spiders are not insects. I had no practical way to prove it to her and nothing important rested on the matter, so I just let it drop. In this instance, it was an English teacher. While she couldn't be expected to be an expert in science, I still thought she should have known that factoid.

High school teachers are far from college professors.
But I wouldn’t blame this chick for being pissed. That professor probably should be fired for not knowing that. That said, my wife is very smart, has multiple degrees, and she is terrible with geography. But even she knows Australia is both a country and a continent.
And I did have one or two shitty or arrogant professors. But by a huge margin, the majority of my professors were simply brilliant people.

Fun fact, Australia is wider than the moon.
 
We knows things are slow around here when there are 75 replies to a silly gossip story from over 4 years ago.

Yeah but was only the people that were unfortunate enough to live in Victoria. While you were confined to your homes, we were going out to restaurants and bars and just going about our lives as normal.

You people voted for Dictator Dan... you get what you deserve.

Many schools are more and more trying to replace full tenured professors with PT adjuncts, who get paid ABSOLUTE JACK SHIT.
This is what that gets you.

Ought to be better regulated in their accreditation requirements.

Hitler was Australian. Nazi Germany actually annexed Australia in the 1930s if I’m not mistaken. I believe the Nazis called it Lebensraum.

Little known fact: Paul Hogan’s father was a commander in the Luftwaffe.
