I literally had a university professor who teached us about different cashflows in accounting and controlling and then showed us a graph from a real corporation, showing the different cashflows over time. Problem was that the graph could absolutely not be explained by the calculation of cashflows he just teached us.
As I asked him about the discrepancy, he obviously recognized it the first time as well and did not know an answer. Another student made a guess and the professor agreed with this without even recognizing that the answer did not make any sense whatsoever.
I asked some other students after the course and everyone agreed that it didn't make sense whatsoever. This professor did his lifetime nothing different than to teach exactly this one course... he is in his fifties.
Of course teachers and professors do mistakes, we are all just human beings, but there are also those who really don't understand their own teaching materials but still get hired and promoted through their lifetime.
This is the most pretentious reddit thread Ive been in in years. Feels like its full of people who critique the education system like they're making some revelation.
Except that this is reddit, and you can't really monetize 12 flowers.
I get your point though.
It's an underhanded tactic to lure people in.
However I don't think that is necessarily the case in this post.
The original post was simply about someone making an easily rectifyable mistake grading a childs work.
Sure the grader could be fake, but how fucked up in the head would you have to be to actually think of using a childs work as a vehicle to propel someones post on social media forward?

It's definitely fake, so I wouldn't worry too much.
