Being cursed with a memory good enough to recall some of my math teachers, I'm absolutely willing to believe that someone as comically incompetent as you describe could be a math teacher.

    i had a horrible math teacher for two years in high school. there are tons of awful teachers out there who know nothing about what they are teaching... they are just doing a rote job and teaching blinded from the same textbook for decades on end.

    about 80% of the teaching staff at my high school were of that ilk. They just wanted an easy boring rote stable job and they got summers off to party/travel... and I meet teachers who basically say this is why they wanted to teach.

    I think I had like 3 teachers in secondary school who actually knew what they were teaching.
