Maybe important is not the correct word to use in the title of this post, but it is appropriate. People ridiculed Gerald Ford's clumsiness. This man has him beat hands down. He's not just clumsy, he's a goof.
I have always explained to the kids the difference between ignorant and stupid as being, if you're ignorant, it just means that you don't know something. It's all right; you can find it out some way.
If you're stupid it means you know better and do it anyway.
One year one of my students asked, "Well, what's an idiot then?" The class came up with this definition after we thought about it:
An idiot is someone who's too stupid to know they're ignorant.
works for me. what about you?
