[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Played Trivial Pursuit with some friends the other night and one (a 4th grade teacher) had no idea who wrote Great Expectations. I consider this essential knowledge, not trivia, especially for an educator. This person has a masters degree (in elementary education, I assume) and has 20 years of experience. Is there really any excuse for this?[/quote] Ridiculous. I could have told you Charles Dickens wrote Tale of Two Cities, but I've never read Great Expectations and don't even know what it was about. And I have a PhD. In literature. It's just not the important piece of information you seem to think it is. [/quote] This is like knowing that New York is in the US, but not knowing that Miami is too or Chicago or LA or DC. Why bother knowing anything about Dickens then. Ridiculous indeed.[/quote]
