There are 'Teachers' and then there are teachers. Even when I was a child in the second grade I learned some people licenced to teach were dopes. She was teaching us to use a dictionary and told us the test would be Friday. She gave us a list of spelling words that we would have to look up in the Dictionary on Friday. She spent the whole week teaching about Alphabetizing, Head words, Glossaries and Indexes. I liked the Index idea so I made my own index which had each spelling word associated with the page number where it could be found in the dictionary. On Friday I finished in lightning speed because the test was to look up the word and write down the page number. She was mad and said I cheated because I didn't use the Head words and Alphabetizing as she had instructed us to do. I argued my method was better because the test was timed and I was faster than everyone else. I understood her argument but she got frustrated and couldn't explain why her method was superior to mine and just labeled me a cheater in front of the class, which shut me up lickety split. It hurt my feelings but even at that age, I could see she was just a dope not fit to be called a Teacher ... or so the story goes roughly recollected. There are probably teachers who can define the parts of a graph but don't grasp the significance of what is being represented there in.
