What an innovative post!

Scholar's mate : ( There are many variations of this one )
Whats interesting is that black can mate white in 2 moves but it takes at least 3 moves for white to mate black. So, why are we taught white has advantage?
In most games neither player will make a mistake big enough to lead to mate in 2...White has a(slight) advantage simply because he/she starts the game ahead in tempo.
