    The teacher is fucking stupid.

    The teacher is likely under-trained, overworked, and under-qualified for the class. Common in districts where the focus of the administration is driving down the cost of education rather than delivering the highest quality.

    That is, of course, assuming this is a real homework and not some agitprop churned out by a Facebook group or a social media account more interested in generating outrage than education.

        Can confirm. My grad mentor’s grad mentor used green because he’d read a paper that green causes more eye strain and he thought it’d be hilarious to grade in green.

        I grade in green because it drives my students nuts.

      “Under-qualified” for the class? Are we really setting the bar beneath the level of a grade schooler?

        Sadly, yes. A third grade transfer student from a good school district might very well be smarter than their teacher. Especially in rural areas.
