Rachel: School Daze

[brandstifter]

:lovedup: Don't get me wrong - I love Rachel. She's so friendly and so positive and I hope she wins (especially as it'll annoy Luke, Bex, Nicole and Rex so much). But come on – I don’t know whether to laugh or cry when I hear a trainee teacher reveal that:

1. She doesn’t know how many days there are in a year.
2. She doesn’t know if a potato’s a vegetable…
3. …and thinks a tomato is one.
4. She thinks London’s a village.
5. She’s never head of Boris Johnson.
6. She doesn’t know what a walrus is.
7. She thinks Belgium is a city.
8. She doesn’t know what condiments are.
9. She doesn't know what the word "peril" means (thanks, bbE).

Rachel, you’re a great gal but come on – get it sorted! Our children’s futures are in your hands, lol! :conf2:

In all fairness, I get mixed up with how many days there are in a year, right now I cant even remember.
Potatoes are a vegetable arent they?
Tomato is a fruit, I know that because my mam told me
Who's Boris Johnson?
What are condiments?

I dont even know some of them either, but I would love Rachel to win

Errrm I know everything on there apart from condiments?

People are inteligent in different ways, some people have great memories for facts, others have great creative streaks and some are very academic or philosiphical (If that's a word).

:shrug:

"Who's Boris Johnson?"

Would that be the Boris Johnson who's the Mayor of London, occasional TV presenter, Tory MP, shadow Education Minister, former editor of the Spectator, frequent topic of controversial headline news and all-round media celebrity? Nope, sorry, never heard of him!

"What are condiments?"

I've no idea. What exactly are salt and pepper? I've never heard of them either! Thanks for asking, though. God forbid you should bother to look it up in a dictionary!

"People are inteligent [sic] in different ways, some people have great memories for facts, others have great creative streaks and some are very academic or philosiphical [sic] (If [sic] that's a word)."

Yes. But she's a trainee schoolteacher!

P.S: I can confirm that “philosiphical” is NOT a word. Hope that helps.

she didnt know what peril meant either!
