I wasn’t proud of getting less than an A in 9th grade science, but my parents and I agreed it wasn’t my fault, but that of the “teacher” who was a retread PE teacher who didn’t clearly distinguish “science” from “what I know”. For instance, while studying water pressure, we were asked on a test “What causes water to flow from a 2nd floor faucet?” The ONLY correct answer? “Turning the faucet handle.”
