Demographics can be fun

I took Western Civilization when I was a sophomore in high school. It was an AP class which means college level. College level means hard. Big mistake on my part.

On one of the exams an essay question directed me to do something with demographics. Use them to support my response, talk about them, who knows. So I raised my hand like any properly trained student who has been told there is no dumb question and asked, "What are demographics?" Apparently I missed the training session where they tell you the teacher doesn't have to actually answer your question. Instead I got, "You probably should have asked that before the test."

If I could have that moment back I would like to say, "Well I guess I won't be answering this question." Oooh, in her face. You won't be surprised to hear I opted not to take that AP exam. That was the one good decision I made in that class.

I know what demographics are now.
