Probably a myth . . .

A student was told that: .

You have no idea how stupid college math students are.

Well . . . yes, I do . . . I taught them for 38 years.

I've seen some incredible mathematical blunders
. . and some spectacular brilliance, which makes it all worthwhile.

I literally laughed out loud. Hahah. It took me a second to get it, but nice one.

Me too. I was an unofficial teacher. I tutored my classmates from 10th grade and now I am in 12th. That is three years of teaching (another classical student mistake in 10th then in 12th is 12-10 =2 years, if you know what I mean). Indeed, I was entertained by some of the mistakes they make. For some reason, "canceling out of a sum" is the most common.
I was actually thinking becoming an official teacher as a job, but I think there are some exciting jobs out there.
