Of course, it is 25% of the class.  I went to a top 20 school.  Don't you remember all the students from college who asked the professors the dumbest questions you could ever imagine?

I knew students who couldn't pay enough attention to even get the basics like if the date that was still written on the board was when the homework was due or if there was a test.

Of course, when it came time for the test instead of just studying what the professor taught or said was going to be on the test, they would kick my #@#$ because they studied every word and example in the text book and spent as much time as they could at the professor's office hours.

Now as my kids go through school, I recognize the disabilities of both the students with the dumb question and myself and my own inability to, basically ever, ask a teacher or professor a question due to shyness.

Now in the working world, both types of disabilities don't receive accommodations.  People with both types of disabilities have to make up for them with their other skills, their maturity and by using the fact that no one around them is perfect and they all know it.[/quote]
