The scary thing is..yes lol. We weren't learning about time tables though, we were learning about bears when she told us this. It was kind of awkward and then of course someone asked how the heck a polar bear could of killed him and I guess it was on some kind of expedition or something in the mountains I guess.
She almost kind of romanticized the guy, I think in her mind he was like an Indiana Jones figure.
This was not the only teacher to use a subject they were teaching us about in order to drop a bombshell on us. Basically my 4th grade teacher announced she had cancer one day when we were learning about..you guessed it, diseases like cancer.
