Few days back I watched an episode of the TV show ” Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader”. The contestant was an elementary school teacher. And what a disappointment she was. She could not answer one single question without taking help from her classmates who were 5th grade students. She used all her helps in the first 3 questions and didnt do well in the rest of the show.
And she is an elementary school teacher. How did she plan on facing her own class after disgracing herself like this on national TV.
I am not saying that the questions are simple for everyone. Who really remembers everything from 5th grade and I would be lying myself if I say I can do without any help on that show. But this lady is an elementary/primary school teacher. She is expected to know, if not all, atleast most of the answers. Atleast she should have prepared before coming on the show. I hope none of her students were watching the show.
What was she thinking?
Hey fellow Bay-area blogger! (Assume from your display picture). Hopped over here from SnS’s to say hi.
Like you said, no excuse for an elementary teacher! Unless she teaches something like physical ed or some obscure subject which require zero basic knowledge.
Hi There!! Thanks for stopping by…I didnt know what she taught but still felt that being a teacher she could have done better.
Teachers are human too and to remember everything you learnt from history and geography is too much. Obviously you master one subject which you teach in school. Again if the teachers were very good they would rather do a PHD on their subject and get more money that people who actually teach!
