Reddit Asks Who's The Dumbest Person You've Ever Met And An Ex-Teacher Responds With 'Kevin'
This is quite possibly, without overhyping it, the best Reddit post we've seen so far.
The human race is beautiful because of our diversity. We all serve a purpose in life that makes us good members of society.
While it's considered rude and tactless to label people "stupid," "dumb," or "unintelligent," sometimes these words are the best adjectives to describe someone. Of course, intelligence is subjective; someone can be not smart in one aspect yet skilled in other areas.
For example, not all people perform well on graded exams, but when it comes to applying their knowledge in the real world, they are unmatched. This isn't always the case, as some individuals can simply be that dumb through no fault of their own.
This was proven on a Reddit forum when one user asked: Who's the dumbest person you've ever met? Based on more than six thousand comments, we can assume that there are indeed foolish people walking among us.
A standout in this Reddit discussion was an answer from an ex-educator who used to teach middle school in the US. In all his years of teaching, there was one student this teacher couldn't forget.
The student's name is Kevin. He was in his 9th-grade class, and although we've never met Kevin, we certainly won't forget him. Ever.
To whoever asked this question, thank you so much!

A chainsaw accident?

This has to be real.

The teacher wished he was lying, but unfortunately, Kevin is very much real.

Kevin needs to answer all of Reddit's questions!

Could this be the explanation for Kevin's bewildering behavior?
GrethSC
He probably thought planes were human-type birds.

I read this in Mose's (Dwight's cousin) voice.

I both want to meet him and avoid him at all costs.

Did we find Kevin?

He wanted another layer of challenge.

He would be a hit on the Olympic Luge team.

Perfect analogy.
Annja, NoahtheRed
OP has a way with words!

My baby cousin knows the difference, yet somehow it evaded Kevin's mind altogether.

The backstory on how the teacher found out Kevin didn't know the difference between cats and dogs.

You mean other people live in those houses? - Kevin probably.

It's good to know that Kevin doesn't feel alone in his family.

Can he tell time?
SpankyJones10, SirLockHomes
Oh no, we found Kevin's cousin, Kelly.

It's her ~write~ hand.

Where did the taser come from?

He just keeps getting better and better.
NoahtheRed
He has the first-ever recorded case of Kevin.

Sometimes, there's nothing you can do but accept the fact and move on.
NoahtheRed
From another teacher's perspective, Kevin sounds like a truly challenging student to supervise.
IAMBATMAN29
You have to look on the bright side; that is, if Kevin hasn't eaten the light bulb.
NoahtheRed
Please tell us what his parents did for a living.
ANAL_ANARCHY
I'm simultaneously impressed and worried sick.
NoahtheRed
Maybe Kevin needs to see a doctor.
wisewiz11
They tried but couldn't figure out what was different about him.
NoahtheRed
As funny as the story sounds, Kevin couldn't have been an easy student to handle.
chilly_anus
The teacher did say he was challenging, to say the least. Biggest reveal: Kevin procreated.

Who would want to sire Kevin's heir, you ask?

Dear reader, he found a girl who had a chip on her shoulder and was smart enough to know what she was doing.
NoahtheRed
Despite all that eventful year for the ex-teacher, Kevin did not contribute to his early retirement. It was a mixture of sheer exhaustion and burnout from the educational system.
As for Kevin, we can only hope he is a good father to his child. What can he teach his progeny? We think Kevin doesn't know either.
