True story...

I went to a private high school. Freshman year they required everyone to take a computer proficiency test which would assign you to a computer class based on your knowledge.

I was assigned to their highest level class which was Microsoft Word. :rolleyes: By the second week of that class the teacher was fed up with my making her look stupid by correcting her inaccuracies and showing everyone shortcuts to do what she wanted, but in half the steps. She gave me credit for the class and I was made the teacher aide for "Introduction to Computers."

After a few weeks that teacher would say, " Steve's teaching this lesson today" and she would leave to hang out in the teachers lounge and smoke. By the second semester she stopped showing up entirely and it was essentially my class. By the end of the year all my students had complete knowledge of DOS, Win 3.1, Word, Excel and even had a pretty good introduction to Corel PhotoPaint.

Those who were in the Word class could only show off they knew how to use Word's spell check and headers & footnotes. laugh
