p>I am a 45-year-old ex-investment banker returning to school to
get my teaching certification. I can assure you that vacuous is a
generous description of my fellow students. There is virtually no
intellectual curiosity at all, and the lack of general knowledge is
astounding. You would be interested to know that Martin Luther King
was president during the Vietnam War. And that the only democracy
in the Middle East is France! I don’t think that the drinking is as
prevalent as when I was in school in 1980, but ignorance is surely
on the rise.
