Taken from the CompTIA IT Fundamentals Exam Guide book (2nd edition, published 2021). I'm not sure if they fixed this in newer versions, if at all.

The mark of a great teacher.

Perhaps not great, but effective. This attitude is exactly how working in the corporate world works. Reality and being right are rarely, if ever, the important thing. Following the rules, doing what you're told, and sitting the fuck down and shutting the fuck up? That's what this teacher was teaching their students.

    To be fair, when you drive in California you really have to apply the Californian traffic laws and not the Canadians.

    Oh yes, I remember the paper test in California and it was really stupid. Things like "what should you do in foggy weather?" And the correct answer was "stay at home and don't drive".

    Their whole booklet was a joke, instead of clear rules it was a mix up of actual rules, advice and trivia with no meaningful organization.

    In the UK all our questions were things like 'You are about to drive into a wall, do you (a) honk your horn, (b) speed up, (c) stop'.

    The rule was if there was a 'stop' answer, use that one, otherwise use the 'slow down' answer. You'd pass easily.

    I always wondered if one day they'd throw in a curve ball.. 'you are being chased by a hoard of zombies..'

    What a bullshit question. If they don't want people to drive in fog they should make it illegal. Otherwise, they should just acknowledge that people are going to do it and not coerce them to lie on a test

    Sadly, this is opposite of what teacher should teach.
