Educational Assumptions

I found this cartoon and I really needed to post it because I think it goes really well with something I was just discussing with some people in my ed class. I feel like sometimes teachers make the really stupid mistake of assuming that one of their students knows things they may not just because of where they've come from

Last year in Paideia my professor used to ask the international students about certain things we would read and in reality they wouldn't know anything about it...and I think its wrong to just throw them out there like that.
