    I’m not a teacher. I thought I was in a design meeting not teaching remedial computers to someone who is supposed to be producing designs.

    Just going off of my life experience, I notice that people pretend up a set of credentials, have large gaps in knowledge, and won’t admit they don’t know things.

      Yeah, but you were still in a teaching position.

      You probably did a bad job because you’re not skilled in teaching. That’s what I meant by saying you’re a bad teacher.

      I could’ve said you’re “bad at teaching” and that may have made things clearer for you, my mistake.

        No, I was in a meeting with a supposedly technical person.

        I’ve been in the industry for a while, and I’ve even mentored people. These gaps in basic computer knowledge are new and they’re also not my problem. I was not this person’s mentor or supposed to be teaching them anything.

          They could’ve been exceptionally inept, and even if they were, I’m still going to stick with my initial conclusion that you’re bad at teaching.

          It’s okay, most people are and you don’t have to be ashamed of it. Everyone won’t be on your side when you say it’s someone else’s fault that they couldn’t learn from you effectively.

            If I knew I was teaching remedial computers that day, I would’ve come with a lesson plan.

            I’m going to stick with my initial conclusion that you love to blame the “teacher” even when they aren’t in any way a teacher.
