This Student Failed Her Assignment Because Her Professor Said "Australia Isn't A Country"

I'm sure the professor would have given her a good grade if she had written about the Country of Africa.

Or the language of Austrian.

This Student Failed Her Assignment Because Her Professor Said "Australia Isn't A Country"

Yes I heard that yesterday. No one here is surprised. Of course the obvious retort is that 'America is not a country'.

I liked this entry in the comment thread, 'To be honest if I was this prof I’d be so embarrassed that I’d fake my own death and start a new life'.

I've heard of some confusing Australia and Austria!

 

Btw I'm a fan of the soap operas "Neighbours" and "Home and Away". That new policeman Colby on the latter is quite good looking!

What I would like to find out is where did this so-called professor get her PhD.

OK, I will confess that I will sympathize with the teacher in only one way. Perhaps she/he meant it is a continent. Of course, it is also a country but maybe she was asking for continents. I don't know. I don't want him/her to lose her license in these economic times for teachers.

Too late. I remember reading that she has been fired.

Oh dear. If that university, SNHU, keep hiring professors with a similar knowledge-base, they are going to have to rename the University SNAFU

[Bargara Leatherboy]

Totally disrespectful

Whenever news stories come up about professors who possibly shouldn’t be employed, I always think about this nutbag
