“I wouldn’t believe in anything an ‘educator’ told me.”
I was in a discussion once with a group of people at work and we were discussing current events and one of the girls retorted to something I said with “I have a degree in education” to which I replied “well, so what?.”
She thought she knew all about about everything and that was supposed to be the end of the discussion. But she was 22, had just graduated and didn’t know anything. By that time I was in my 30’s and was far more well-versed in issues than she was. AND we were working for a bank, so that education degree was gonna come in REAL handy there!
But to your point, people that claim to be “educators” tend to be elites. And it reminds me of Orwell’s quote “only an intellectual could believe that. No ordinary man would be such a fool.”
Orwell’s quote “only an intellectual could believe that. No ordinary man would be such a fool.”
An EXCELLENT quotation for our times!
I'm sorry, but I would just about die laughing if I was on the receiving end of a line like that.
