      I’m not a teacher. I thought I was in a design meeting not teaching remedial computers to someone who is supposed to be producing designs.

      Just going off of my life experience, I notice that people pretend up a set of credentials, have large gaps in knowledge, and won’t admit they don’t know things.

        Yeah, but you were still in a teaching position.

        You probably did a bad job because you’re not skilled in teaching. That’s what I meant by saying you’re a bad teacher.

        I could’ve said you’re “bad at teaching” and that may have made things clearer for you, my mistake.

          No, I was in a meeting with a supposedly technical person.

          I’ve been in the industry for a while, and I’ve even mentored people. These gaps in basic computer knowledge are new and they’re also not my problem. I was not this person’s mentor nor supposed to be teaching them anything.

              If I knew I was teaching remedial computers that day, I would’ve come with a lesson plan.

              I’m going to stick with my initial conclusion that you love to blame the “teacher” even when they aren’t in any way a teacher.
