But yeah, my math teacher was trying to teach us Americans the metric system (keep in mind this is our 9th grade Algebra teacher), and she said that there was 100 mm in a meter and 10 cm in a mm. Really, 10 cetemeters that are each bigger than one Milameter fit in to one of them, that makes sence.
Fail, she got the whole class confused and simultaniusly the whole class said "I quit", and then we walked out right in front of her. It was HALARIUS.
Can't remember in particular, but one time, my science teacher told us a whole bunch of stuff for half a lesson, then told us to forget saying that because it's wrong, and he wanted to see if anyone would point out his faults.
skyfire_freckles: I was spinning a globe during free time in second grade, looking at all the continents, when I suddenly realized that Africa and South America would fit together almost perfectly. It made me think about what my dad had said about earthquakes, so I went to my teacher and explained my theory: that once upon a time, the continents had all been together once, but earthquakes had broken them apart over time.
She said, "No, of course not," like it was ridiculous. Then she went on to say that the world had always been just the way it was, and would never change.
What the hell?
Yeah, she's wrong on so many levels, in the early times every continent fit together into one giant shape. I can't remeber what it was called, I think it started with a P. But yeah, go and yell at her becasue she's stupid.
PANGEA, BIZNATCH! I learned that in Geography last year, apparently some schools are better than others.
Thats what is was, god that was killing me for the 10 secinds it took for you to reaspond. Thank you.
Sark: My English teacher liked to tell us that 2 + 2 = 5.
A half cookie for an easy reference.
George Orwell's 1984. However, being only 3 pages in out of 10, I assume someone else has beaten me to it? :P
OT: Being taught (in about grade... 5 I think?) that the boiling point of water was 100 Degrees Fahrenheit. Of course, a friend of mine and I quickly argued with him, he granted us the chance to quickly use the internet to find the answer to prove him right, to which my friend and I subsequently proved him wrong. ^_^ He was a good teacher otherwise though, so we didn't really hold it against him. O.o
how about zerodivided by zero, by all logic that makes 1

0/0=c thus 0=0*c thus 0=0 As c can be any real number 0/0 equals all real numbers.[/quote]

Your welcome. This is why your calculator doesn't like you if you ask it to do this.[/quote]
yeah, i noticed, that also explains why a friend of mine looked it up and found that out (failed at explaining it though) and proposed the theory that 0/0= gluestick

We've all had them before, when was a time where you were taught something in school and the teacher said it with the upmost sincerity and confidence, yet you either instantly knew it wasn't true or you later found out it wasn't true?
For me, it's a tie between when my 1st grade teacher told me the Sun rotates and revolves around the planets simultaneously with everything else, (I instantly called her out on that and I was 6.) and when my 8th grade American History teacher told the class that the founding fathers of America wanted it to be a strictly Christian nation. (once again, I instantly called him out on it and even quoted Benjamin Franklin when he said this would be a much better nation without religion.)
Did you go to school in SE Oklahoma? lol cause lol and idk everything has an opposite and equal reaction? Yeah thats a lie. Nothing can equal Chuck Norris Round house Kick
Naheal: Elementary school. We were taught that the American Revolution "sounded the bell for freedom around the world" and "was fought for freedom" when in reality, it was a small colony in the middle of nowhere and what we were really fighting for was the idea that we didn't want to pay taxes to the Brits.
They were actually mad at the Brits for taking away their town meetings, quartering soldiers in the colonists house against their own will, not allowing them their own self-rule. Taxing was one of them, but those are the other reasons.
These actions were taken after the Boston Tea Party, which was intended as a means to incite the Brits to overreact and have the lower class folks realize just how "terrible" the British government was.
By the way, they were one of the better governments that was out there at the time. Also, it wasn't nearly as clear cut as it's typically portrayed. Essentially, we had about 1/4 of the folks who hated the Brits, 1/3 who were loyal to them, and everyone else who really didn't care until what happened after the Boston Tea Party.

No. Tennessee. Signal Mountain TN which is an extremely repressed school that needs to be destroyed. Their bullshit Sex Ed class was the last straw and that was when I got home schooled. All it was was a bunch of stupid abstinence groups telling you about how you shouldn't have sex.
Cursive Righting for sure, they tried to convince us if we didn't learn to write in cursive we would wind up on the streets eating out of trash cans because all the schoolwork from that point on was supposably only supposed to have cursive.
Once I entered high school I was never asked to write in cursive ever again.
Supreme Unleaded: But yeah, my math teacher was trying to teach us Americans the metric system (keep in mind this is our 9th grade Algebra teacher), and she said that there was 100 mm in a meter and 10 cm in a mm. Really, 10 cetemeters that are each bigger than one Milameter fit in to one of them, that makes sence.
Fail, she got the whole class confused and simultaniusly the whole class said "I quit", and then we walked out right in front of her. It was HALARIUS.
HAH in Canada (the "way up there") the metric system is hilarous, i read your comment and then went to school. At school we learned about the imperial system. Our teacher said that if you wanted to know how big an inch was, use your big toe, if you want to know how big a foot is, use your foot. (she was dead serious)Keep in mind, however, that we are 14, our feet go as small as size 7. Someone threw a sock at her =P

Wow, only a size 7, here in America the 14 year olds foot is anywhere from a size 9 to a size 11. I'm a size 9 1/2, you know what they say about big feet...

You, my friend, are the first 14 year old to not say big dick, and i commend you for that. Seriosly every single person in my grade will say big dick (except me, i just get others to say it).

I was going to say Bladderack since that what i use when i go biking and free running hiking. Yes free run hiking. I go on about 3 foot wide trails, run up hills, jump over fallen tree's, run down hill (which at my speed is all jumping and balance), and "wall climb" on alot of corners.
Any spelling lesson in primary school had me correcting my teachers at least once. They were hopeless, that's what happens with tiny schools of 30 students with 2 teachers.

Ahahaha, he mixed up Celsius and Fahrenheit.
thanks cap'n obvious.
this reminds me of something my chem teacher told us this year. he'd said that the world has a population of 22 million. i found that hard to beleive as aus has just over 20 and as far as i knew, there hadn't been a nuclear war since i'd last checked. that was the day i started using wikipedia to make teachers STFU. (population was 6.7779 at the time

eh Deep South and Little Dixie....all them same man... lol I cant home schooled because my mom, ironically, works in the school system and we need every little bit of money. lol and she isnt a fan of what they do either but hey it happens.
my middle school science teacher saying that science said bees couldnt fly then following it up with a story about a couple enginers out for drinks and doing some calculations before they discovered that bees shouldnt be able to fly. First off that was an old story going around in the 60s and in all likelyhood is false, and 2nd since when did 2 engineers who know nothing about insects ever constitute the scientific community. And whats worse is this story shows how ignorent that alot of ppl can be of science, since science moves on. So even if the story was true, alot has changed since the 60s. Oh and yes I am too lazy to spell check etc etc.

The south isn't as bad as most people think. still bad though but it doesn't deserve as bad a rap as it gets. Now, Alabama is a different story.
And, I call it homeschooling, but I really just study whatever the fuck I want. I have no interest in advanced Calculus or Algebra, so I don't take it. Its kinda like college but I'm in high school. I major in Psychology, Graphic Design, and Creative Writing.
