Dunbar students didn't recognize Jeff Bezos the surprise speaker, DCPS is Embarrassing

[Anonymous]

If I met Jeff Bezos at a party AS AN ADULT I would recognize him and call him a cheater and a douche under my breath. Lee Iacocca came to my high school and I had no idea who he was until they introduced him as Lee Iacocca. Teenagers are busy with other stuff and are no required to kiss the feet of a rich old guy with little relevance to their day-to-day.

This is why they call the school “Dumb-ar High.”

I bet you’re wrong.

Nope, they all know who the richest man in the world is

Because suburbanites talk so much about money?

My well-educated children would not have recognized him either. They know "of him", but they're not familiar with what he looks like, nor should they be expected to.

OP, is this the kind of spurious "knowledge" that passes for in-depth education in your world?

Agreed. I asked my daughter if she knew who Jeff Bezos was. Her response was "That Amazon guy". I asked her if she know what he looked like and she had no idea. I'm positive she would have had no clue who he was if he walked into her class.

No, but if he were some blingy substance abusing hip-hopper with a criminal record, then they might pay attention.
