I think you only have one option, Start a hundred year war to end their stupidity.

I'm not sure if this is a failure in education or humanity itself

I know how you feel. I found out yesterday, the majority of my sophomore class doesn't know who Mozart is, much less the fact that he was a human being. I'm in high school. Really makes you lose faith in humanity, huh?

Spelling can really make a big difference...one letter can screw everything up...like the people before the great flood...

Honestly, I don't know who Joan of Arc is. I am and feel dumb.

Wow. Some people are so stupid and uneducated. I guess a college education isn't worth what it used to be. Too busy burying their heads in the phones and playing Pokemon

why tf are you guys hating on some kids that don't remember some stuff that they might not of even learned in high school? it's not common sense to know every freaking Pearson in history especially if it has nothing to do with your own country or everyday life, making the guess that someone with the title "of arc" is related to Noah and his arc is not that bad of a conclusion there could be much worse.

Don't know who it is. Some fairytale bullshit from the Bible? Probably

so I skimmed over classmates so thought you were a elementary teacher and at first thought it was cute

Sure, but they've been busy learning the REALLY important stuff--like Diversity Appreciation (a.k.a. How to Hate White People) and Safe Space Creation Techniques. C'mon, get your priorities in order!

Seems like someone has been watching a lil too much Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

This reminds me of the movie Bill and Ted'd Excellent Adventure: "Who was Joan of Arc?" "Uh... Noah's wife?"
