Not a woosh just a miscommunication. I thought you meant that 1994 was roughly when for the first time it “Could have been done on a computer in Courier font”. In most clueless fashion, I missed the actual date on the actual (alleged) missive which as you say was 1994. I was correcting you to say that in 1984 it could have been done on a computer in Courier font.
Were there even computers with Courier font in 1984?
My little beige Mac did.
Good on her! We desperately need thousands more like her on our school boards across the country.
When I was in college, the Elementary Ed majors were hot as balls. And incredibly dumb.
Why?

Wow, that was quick-- I was just on my way to do that myself.

That’ll teach The Tooth to ask questions…
I once had an argument with my physics teacher in high school when she made a handout which contained numerous mathematical errors, on the order of ‘impossible triangles’ and the like. I had simply skipped all of the problems at home and was somewhat nervous when I was called on to present a solution on the whiteboard. At first I tried to just work out a possible solution while ignoring whatever contradicting aspect was there, but the teacher kept ‘correcting’ me until I had no option but to diagram the whole problem and point out to her some of the basic principles of trig, triangles, Pythagorean theorem, etc. She didn’t really want to hear any of that and actually polled the class as to how many of them believed any part of what I was saying- about 3/4 of the class agreed with me. She told us that we were all mistaken, to which I replied something like “I think the only mistake that’s been made is hiring someone to teach physics when they can’t understand basic math.” Yes, I was removed from class, sent to the principle (who agreed that I had a point) and was still taken out of class for a week for ‘insubordination’ or somesuch.
In the end, I learned something-although it wasn’t physics. I still consider it my first course in social psych and human behavior. Now when a person in power over me is obviously, factually wrong about something, I just bite my lip, ignore their idoicracy, think to myself “dilbert principle in action”, solve the problem anyway and get my paycheck all the same.
The saddest part for me was the roughly 1/4 of the kids in class who agreed with the teacher. I always wonder if they were simply afraid of standing against the teacher or actually agreed with her or what?
Several years after I graduated I happened to run into my trig teacher (supposedly it was a combo trig/physics class that incorporated aspects of each class into the other) who told me that she had given up working with the teacher after the first two weeks of school, when she was told by the physics teacher that “making up problems is too complicated, usually I just take problems from the book and change all of the numbers” and couldn’t understand why that wouldn’t work, etc. Apparently the physics teacher had wanted a job teaching elementary school, but no jobs were available except as a high school science teacher. She (trig teach) had said she told admin about it, but was told “no one else wants to teach physics, so she’s not leaving.”
