Today, I asked my class to name some West African countries. Several of them thought Ebola was a country. I teach an AP history class. FML

I'm wondering what they thought the disease was....

Wow! I hope they were just messing with you, if they weren't that would be really sad.

Must not take much to get into that school's AP class.

Trust me, my school will just put anybody in an AP class if they signed up for it. There are some kids in my school that are in AP classes, and you wonder why they're in an AP class.

And apparently they're more offensive too? Using "retarded" to describe some misinformed kids does not make you look better. It makes you look like an asshole. That's the beauty about being in school - you're not expected to know everything. That's why you're in school.

Welcome to American classrooms everybody

Things like this happens everywhere, not just the US.

I don't want to live on this planet anymore

Ebola is a river in Africa, hence the disease's name. So they aren't TOO far off.

The kids these days are idiots..and lazy. But hey someone's gotta do the burger flipping for me ;)

Yes, lazy idiots. Tell that to the kids working their asses off in class or on the field so they can get scholarships just to move onto college and take on the stresses of that! Oh, but sure, they're only here to serve jackasses like you the artery-clogging burgers you need so much. Asshole.
