Q:Why should a professor teach things that aren't in the source book?
A: so he can get an exam that not even himself can answer properly!
Q: But why?
A: no one knows the answer. It's one of the philosophic questions that has no answer. But maybe to hurt his students!

You know we're right because you paid us an extraordinary amount to have the answers!

@stisch are you a teacher who tortures students too?
God bless you not. #jk :)))))

I like to think we're all teachers, but also students! Learning to program is a lot like Buddhism, but that's a whole other rant.

... also I dropped out of college to make lots of money so what do I know lol

@stisch you were so wise to try to learn yourself in the process of working. I wish i did that too.
And so zen of you. I like the idea of constant give and take of knowledge.

Well... I had an English teacher that, for a year said that remote control in English is said "commando" because that's the Portuguese word for it.
Like... For a year...
Before the year ended, and because I had a bad grade because of such shit I printed a paper with dictionary terms...
Something like:
Remote control :something to control an electric device.
Commando : elite troop trained in guerrilla tactics
