U r not being "too ignorant", but being lazy or I guess, reluctant!! ANd I'm not getting pissed off, but trying to improve an ignorant soul who I guess is also a slow learner!!

You see, some people just don't have any other choice than introducing themselves more clearly, because unclear introductions(and misunderstandings arising from them) are creating a lot of dust-n-storm and making it difficult to get a real view of the opposite side. Its way better to clean a dusty glass partition rather than strain your eyes without gains.
Thanx for enlightening us with ur philosophy....."Rohanam sharanam gachami"! May be introducing oneself to the students "more clearly" might make even the most "ignorant" soul a genius!!

rohan said:
ok.........stop trying. I'll improve when I feel like
Of course thanks for your extended help.
I hope u don't feel "too ignorant" now. :D

You are confusing two word: Ignorants and slow-learners.

Am I now. First of all "ignorant" is not a noun ? There is no such thing as "an ignorant". The actual word you would want to use is "ignoramus". Furthermore the last person you want to teach the difference of a slow-learner and an ignoramus is me.

Being a teacher is more than just a responsibility. Its not about you attaining some kind of high seeing some student make it through the exams. Its about the teacher being able to instill into the student the desire to learn. Your snobbish attitude which can be depicted in the following quotes just portrays that you were running your mindless drivel all over this forum.

And the worst is when people are themselves aware that they can't communicate properly in English but still try to speak in English as if its their mother tongue. They, most of the times, end up doing "aan", "uun" in between every 2 words.

They think using words such as "basically" or "like" at the start of every sentence ass to their "Style quotient" but only the listener know how irritating it is to listen to such a jerky and broken speech.

Now let me ask you again. May I hold you to your moronic standards sir?. If so then may I reply to the topic "Do You Get Pissed Off At Others' Ignorance ?" with the following answer.

I am pissed with the way you try to communicate on this board. Please do yourself a favor and learn the correct grammar wherever applicable in whatever time stipulations you feel is adequate and come back.

If you answered "No" to my above question. Then isn't your post about this English crap which we've all been trying to get through your head utter nonsense? Oh wait, maybe you're just a slow-learner and not an "ignoramus". Come back and talk about your standards when you actually follow them

By the way if the conduct of yourself in your posts represent any measure of your morals than you give teachers a bad name.

“ Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe. ” -Albert Einstein

I am not a geek. I am a learner. :)

Not everyone can understand the details of computing. Tell me if you are in this field, can you understand the details of say mechanical engineering or architecture? Don't we ask foolish questions to people who are masters in their field? For them we are noobs & we irritate them.


Agreed what you are saying about the architecture is right but You know what pisses "us" off? the other day i had an argument with a "Computer Engineer" in a big multinational about his laptop having more ram in the graphics card. I tried to explain to him that it is not only ram but the more important thing in graphics is the processor series like the 8600 256mb would be much powerful than a 6400 512 mb and so on, but that guy would not understand. For gods sake I am an accountant.

Ok Guys, I refrained from posting this earlier but can contain myself no longer. Check out this thread :

*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=81209

ROFL!

And it doesn't end there, pritish actually sent me a PM [twice] asking me where he could get the materials required!!!!

That is the peak of ignorance.



ROFL:D
Wasn't that rude? But it was someway similar to the Amazing videos on tvs, you get to laugh on the accidents of other people.

guys, stop being ignorant about what this thread is about.
now I am pissed off

This thread is about some people getting a hoot out of some random person asking a question or doing something in which someone found ignorant. Not to mention that some of the things people find here stupid are rather atrocious. So a person said the word "Basically" a few times in a sentence. Suddenly he is being called "an ignorant" (as per a scholar on this board) because the person doesn't match your vocabulary? If thats the case then 99% of the forum posters including you and me should stop posting according to him since we barely use proper grammar. Since when did Indians started to judge their own people by such standards. Hell , even the British didn't.

Oh wait .. Aren't you the one that started this thread?

Naah, I have too little time to bother for what others say, I will choose "ignorance" rather than be miffed about and spoil my time holding grudges and ill will. Seriously, who has time to waste on lame things.

And btw where is legolas? I was enjoying the discussion dude.
WTH, preacher calling his preachings lame? Aren't u the one who started talking ignorantly bt "ignorance" n "slow learning", the 2 terms which describe the preacher perfectly.

Tell me praka123. Would you like it if someone called you "an ignorant" because they ran a spell check on every word I said followed by a grammar check. This isn't the US or UK or wherever. Calling people ignoramuses because of this is just plain silly.

If anyone thinks I'm wrong in my reasoning please explain why. Show me what I have said that is wrong and I will retract my words.

I know you only said what you said in a very casual manner, but if it hurts other people, we should apologize and take it back. Like you did
Thank you Kalpik!! :)
guys, stop being ignorant about what this thread is about. now I am pissed off :mad:
MetalheadGautham, this thread's actual/original purpose is to make fun of newbies or ppl ignorant of computers or lack basic skills in the ability to click "yes" and "next" and "finish"and poke fun at them. As much as I disagree with this idea, which again would go with some big conversations saying what have you done productively? Do you have a journal? or do you have a patent? how many programming languages do you know or how ignorant have you been in learning new languages or stuffs like that. But, I understand you already knew it and wanted to consider the 1 special case of ultra-newbies or ultra-newbie-covert. For sake of conversation and only fun, its certainly nothing wrong about coming at the expense of others.
yuck! u guys have wasted this brilliant thread. Shame on you.
:D Pardon my sardonic insolence and ignorance. :lol:
please don't bring the region thing I am pretty much against this.I am stopping here.
You don't have to reply, but I would be glad if you had a look at what I had to say because you prematurely concluded some things and restrained for good. thank you.
Judging people is fun isn't it? This thread is about some people getting a hoot out of some random person asking a question or doing something in which someone found ignorant
You are right on target, but may be you are a little strong. It only provokes the other person not to obtain your perspective and insight in your post and rather give sarcastic replies or something. Just a suggestion. you did not say anything wrong. I hope you get the point.
Only about 1 in 100 still chooses to remain ignorant.
In the essence of giving the credit to the author of the thread and continuing the thread, with the intention of only fun, I will try to keep this short. First, you coach students not teach I suppose. why? you ask them to take exams and if they dint perform well you intimate him and finally talk to parents. You never would for example, say, ask the student what he dint understand or did he really not understand and try to explain in him. A teaching profession is something entirely different and extremely noble in cause in a different sense, than what you do. In our school education, the toppers are valued by their ability to mug up the bunch of notes and voluminous books. Its not a measure of intelligence, strictly speaking, but your memory and power to retain. On the basis of this, I find no fault in the kid while teachers/coachers have every means to mold him. Its a pity if they don't.
Most importantly, 1 in 100 is an extremely low measure for which you should feel happy for and fill yourself with hope instead of distress and irritation & try to curb it. or may be, in fact, you are all the more pissed at yourself for not being able to mold that 1 kid. Self-blame is a seemingly noble gesture to me usually happens when people indulge them extremely and excessively and are not able to say provide results up to their expectations. while in reality, it might be one of the best. I would guess you are one of that sort. It just got misinterpreted in this thread by you posting just the irritation part of it.

now, if possible, with a few dying out discussions of this off topic, lets return to the topic!!

What I got pissed off is: During my under graduation in Electronics engineering, in pretty much the important subjects requiring some level of intuitiveness and understanding and problem solving, people come to me and ask them to explain how to solve a problem and I explain everything and they are entirely satisfied and hail me as the most intelligent person on Earth, we all know its relative. But, when the exam comes and a similar question is asked (with values changed) and I solve it completely with some careless mistakes and arrive at the wrong answer, this damn professor is an ass and doesn't give any step marks. He gives 1/20 (20 mark question). This pisses me off. I can very well prove that the person who got 20/20 is obviously able to solve stereotypical problems but did not grasp the concept. But in an exam, which was only fair to all students, he got it right. Oh God, this has happened many times!!! (with the same professor). But, he is really an ass.

take it easy!

If you read carefully, I have maintained that "one should learn certain minimum things in stipulated time." Did I mention that learn everything in 1 go?
Yet u say u r "too ignorant" to learn the definition of ignorance?? It gives me an impression that u want to do your whole schooling again to understand the definition of ignorance!

If you think what I said was wrong, you are free to preach and practice your way, what you feel is correct.
Its not called preaching, but teaching the facts and I was merely telling to a person to correct himself who came in some discussion and said sky is magenta!

You should know how to pick-up a deserving students and improve them and how to show the door to the ignorant and troublesome students
I consider it discrimination based on intelligence (which is exactly what doesn't happen in say, the US) and its as equal a sin as discriminating by caste, creed or religion. Reserving students the quality of study based on your judgment and discriminating them at that age is not productive or constructive.
You teach a 11th std kid. Instead think of the position of a primary school kid learning Math. If the teacher decides it doesn't get into his mind, say multiplication of two numbers or basic algebra... ?? The only difference being, you can control (mostly this happens) primary kids by FEAR while higher secondary kids are/may be too stubborn. You will have to find a way to overcome his stubbornness and aid him with the fullest potential and no discrimination.

Primary school and higher secondary aren't the same environment. You can't apply the same principles to every class.
Why so? How is the education system different for primary school and high school and higher secondary?? Just the syllabus is of increasing complexity. The same system is followed through out. So that argument is invalid.
If you have the patience of those teachers... why do you think you can't do it? This is exactly why exx_2000 and me and others say teaching profession is more noble than that. They shed light to all students without discrimination and embrace them. Its the art of teaching it may be difficult to master, but easy to comprehend.

Teaching is about understanding minds and throwing content in a way that it penetrates.
So, even by your argument, if it dint penetrate, its just that the way you did it is not sufficient enough. and start getting smarter and try different ways of penetrating. Don't blame the student if your ways of penetrating aren't working. Genuinely, it would be yours to blame in that case, wouldn't it? (this is just for argument sake, to prove what you said is insufficient/inconclusive)

Ever thought why the complexity was increasing? Its because you are able to process more thoughts.
I am doing my masters in Neuroscience. It would be another lengthy discussion which I don't want to go into. The complexity increases constantly in all levels. Not that 5th std students are able to solve calculus and 11th std students struggle.. The increase in the complexity is pronounced, but equal increase (which can be handled by kids) in all levels/grades. Again, it doesn't make sense or give an explanation as to why primary and high/higher sec schools are different?? and teaching has to be/is different

Your teaching intentions are equivalent/can be compared to that of Military, where soldiers when they are wounded are left behind if they are not able to continue the mission. And teaching is far far far away from it. It is about patience and embracing the wounded and carrying on such a majestic task with utter responsibility. Having the qualities capable enough to do it is what is admirable, noble, required. Helping the 99% alone (who in fact can learn by themselves) is not the virtue of a teacher. I am not explaining again what is about being a Guru.
