Quote by Richard Pratt
A university professor set an examination question in which he asked what is the difference between ignorance and apathy. The professor had to give an A+ to a student who answered: I dont know and I dont care.
Summary
This quote humorously highlights the distinction between ignorance and apathy. The examination question asks about the difference between the two concepts. Instead of providing a thoughtful response, the student's answer, "I don't know and I don't care," cleverly demonstrates both ignorance (lack of knowledge or understanding) and apathy (lack of interest or concern). The sarcastic response amuses the professor to such an extent that he awards the student with the highest mark, encapsulating the student's indifference towards the subject matter.
