There is that closed thread about the DR-Haiti univfication...the poster said to PIB that it was not right to question "my ignorance ....."
Unfortunately, the poster did not realize that she was admitting to her own ignorance..hehehe.
And this reminded me of a real-life teaching experience.
One day in an advanced geography class that dealt with statistics as applied to geography and other social sciences, my most obnoxious student, never paying attention, asked a question on something I had just explained in dreary detail.
I was pi$$ed, to say the least. I remember saying: "Altagaracia, for you to ask me that question you are either very deaf or very stupid!"
She quipped back: "Professor Hillbilly, I am not deaf!!"
I don't remember much of the rest of that class......
So, young lady, if you get to read this, nobody is questiong your ignorance, we accept that. A few might be questioning your intelligence, however...
