As I previously wrote about, a college student failed an assignment after her professor told her Australia was not a country.
We deeply regret the interaction between our professor & our student. We have apologized to Ashley, replaced the instructor, & are reimbursing her tuition for the course. To our friends in Australia, we know that you are a country & a continent, best of luck in the Olympic games!
I’m certainly take no joy in someone losing their job, but come on, it’s kind of deserved in this case. A college professor who doesn’t know Australia is both a country and a continent? That’s Geography 101. Heck, that might be even be earlier than that. It’s literally the only continent that is also a country. And there are only seven continents! It’s not like they’re hard to keep track of or anything.
But on the plus side, what a victory for the common man, am I right? Getting into with an authority figure knowing full well that you are 100% correct and they are 100% wrong? Just sitting there knowing that no matter what is happening now, you’re right and eventually will come out on top? That’s a rare chance that you need to take full advantage of.
