Anyone else totally burnt out?

Every time you get to hate teachers… remember how dumb they are:

A friend of mine had to write a paper for his psychology class, but he could not figure out how to begin. The teacher generously decided to write the first paragraph for him. This works, and he writes the rest of the paper.

He gets it back, graded. The first paragraph has been marked into oblivion. Grammar and sentence structure has been circled, as well as the age old comments: ‘where is this going’, or ‘how is this significant’ or ‘explain’.

Upon being told that she was the one that wrote it, the teacher quickly takes an eraser, and removes the corrections from the first paragraph, saying: “I see how that could make sense, now.”

True story. Sad, but true.
