I'm one of those tutors she mentions at the community colleges. And sadly this is like 75% of the people I see, they have absolutely no common sense. 352ft in a yd, pathetic.

Forget the part where she couldn't remember how many feet are in a yard; that's somewhat excusable. Sometimes I have a time remembering conversions, personal flaw. But wtf; the question asks when two 5th graders stand on eachothers shoulders... like we're clearly talking sub 10ft, so when that 78ft came up she should have just said wrong.

This was really, really painful to watch.

Oh I forget the conversions constantly. But I have the common sense to know when things are at least somewhat close.

Wow.. I went to TCC (Tarrant County College) for my first year of college before I transfered out. Not very proud of that statement right now. However quite hilarious bc its typically where all the flunkees and old people go back to try to do something with their lives. The main campus is on a street called Harwood, people refer to it as 'Harvard on Harwood' or 'Texas College of Champions'
