Description
I guess I should offer an explanation! The past month or so I picked up a side gig at a summer camp where I taught childrens to draw good (and want do other stuff good too). I learned a thing or two from this experience, one being: the lack of common sense and obscene levels of ignorance kids these days possess, and two: How little patience I have when it comes to dealing with said ignorance. Especially when it pertains to knowledge of BASIC PRIMARY COLORS. Bless those teachers and their hearts full of saintly patience and understanding that I forever lack.I'm going to be a smashing parent, I know.
Of course I am a rather decent human being who knows that sarcasm probably isn't the best method for knowledge enrichment. Instead, I imbibe copious amounts of alchohol cope by translating my un-funny life into slightly more amusing comics! I uploaded a bunch onto my facebook for friends, but thought I'd do my share as a terrible person and post some of them here.
(PS This girl's not colorblind. It'd sure explain a lot of things if she were tho...!)

And for the rest of this year when I come back.
I don't think teachers can be made. You really need a knack and love for it.

Hahaha OMG, I totally would suck as a teacher cause, honestly, I've come across this issue already even when trying to explain things to adults. But primary colours.. uh oh...
Btw I'm lucky that my kid is quite intelligent (maybe too much though, he always tries to outwit me in arguements and doing well - I have to be on alart 24/7 XD; )

Oh dear i know exactly what you mean! I work part time in a library and I had a woman ask me "where are your childrens books?" and i just said "everywhere" seeing as we were in the childrens half of the library.
Oh i also had another child keep asking me how to pronounce words from a book, which if one or two is normally okay, but it was every word that had four or more letters to it. I got asked all manner of things this summer.
I even have some children quee jumping to the counter ignoring the adults all ready there. Its not just common sense they lack its manners as well.

Good god, man.
Somehow, I have a feeling that I'll be in your situation not too long from now. I was hoping there would at least be a gradual decline in general public intelligence.

I totally know how you feel. I was helping my middle school teacher correct some work from his 8th grade class and you cannot believe how many of those kids were writing in text speak. Examples include: "W8 4 da teach to call on u" and "b4 u get 2 class"

Haha, yeah. I kinda feel sorry for him too. Welp, that's what you get for being a teacher; watching the generations decline as it goes on.

Pretty much. I'm trying to figure out the appeal, they're like the Pogs of this generation. Which I suppose those had no appeal either. So confusing, the interests of childrens.
