One boring day my teacher was talking about religion and ****. She was like "A. D. stands for 'after death'"... I said "no woman, it means Anno Domini it's from the god damn Gregorian calender. She just looked at me and said "yeah, that too," then started talking about other crap. I shrugged and started playing games on my school computer some more.
Around fifteen minutes later after we were all completing our idiotic school assignments, some stupid fat girl in my class asked the teacher, "so, like, who was the founder of, like, Christianity, who found it, like who started it...?"
I turn in my chair to see me teacher's pathetic response. Turns out she didn't quite have one. The girl asked, "would it be Jesus? Should I just say that?" My teacher goes, "yeah Jesus, that's what I was gonna say, just say that."
I was like, what the ****. Apparently Jesus founded Christianity.
16 year old kids who just start going back to high school are smarter than the teachers. I think she only got her job by cheating, like having sex with the right person or something... the most hilarious part is she wants me.
Anyone else got any funny teacher stories? Post here pls.

My take away:
* your mother isn't terribly smart/educated,
* your sister is fat,
* your mother is cheating on your father with your father?!?
* your mother wants you?!?
* you're home schooled.
 Context is everything.
You can tell me what is and isn't Truth when you pry the tinfoil from my cold, lifeless head.

When I was in first grade, during collapse of Soviet Union, our teacher educated us that we live in XIX century! After telling this to my dad, when I got back to school, he laughed and explained this is bullshit and XIX century was 100 year ago, when everyone was traveling in steamships and steamtrains. Next day I told everything to teacher and she gave me explanation - look , now its 1990 year , right? We take first 2 numbers, and now we know in what century we live, simple.
I was confused actualy

You shouldn't be able to become a teacher if you're a moron / teach things you have no clue about.

For me it's less about certain teachers being "dumb" and more about certain teachers being outright hostile and untrusting.
It just seems to me like many of them always assume the most negative intentions of everybody - two people chatting while in the bathroom? "THEY MUST BE DOING DRUGS!" Person doing their work on a computer? "THEY'RE OFF-TASK AND WATCHING ****!" Helping a friend get their combination lock after somebody locked it to a light on the ceiling? "THEY'RE STEALING SOMEBODY'S LOCK!" (I'm not even kidding about this last one)
Then they go and wonder why so many people drop out of their classes.
Of course, there are exceptions to this - some of my teachers are incredibly nice people - but it seems that the default for many, many teachers is to assume that everyone around you is beneath you. |

Then no one would be a teacher below Uni level because it's a horrid, underpaid profession where you have to deal with a bunch of ******** children that can't behave and your hands are tied when you wish to deal with the issues. |

Actually, she probably just stopped caring after a while. When dealing with students like you for 10+ years, teachers tend to get a bit jaded.
Also, it's arguable who actually started Christianity. Jesus may be the subject of the religion, but you could also argue that Peter started the actual religion, since he is considered the first pope.... |

I like that. My take is:
*Guy see's himself as House, obviously a genius in a room full of halfwits trying desperately to match his intellect.
*'Fat girl' is the cheerleader who doesn't even knows he exists
*Sped through his assignment while putting in the least effort to increase maximum slack time potential
*Is in love with his teacher and fantasizes about her having the same feelings for him nightly
*Enjoys daydreaming about being the man of the school while he's playing Angry Birds
*Feels that he is above learning (though if the subject is religion I would have to agree but this sounds like it was a side topic) |

I had one teacher in elementary school who told us if the Earth stopped rotating, there would be no gravity and we'd all fly off into space. Even at that age I was aware gravity is a property of mass but there was no arguing with her. |

One sad fact of life is that it's not what you know, but who you know (and in some cases who you do) that gets you ahead.
American teachers are pathetic as standards have dropped tremendously. American college teachers are not far behind. One in particular comes to mind that hade a penchant of publicly promoting her lesbianism in class.....as if anyone cares.
A college degree doesnt guarantee that you are intelligent. It just says you are able of going through the motions of attending class, absorbing whatever "facts" are given you and reguritating it on an exam.
On a positive note, we now live in a world of instant information via the internet. You can get quite the education by self research.
I've learned more since the internet than I ever did in my classroom years.

I'm sorry to put this this way, but you and your teacher are both wrong... Anno Domini means (Latin) "The year of our Lord." If you want to go even further, the traditional statement is Anno Domini Nostri Iesu (the Year of Our Lord Jesus Christ).
If you are going to correct someone for misinformation with Wikipedia... be sure to read ALL of the article first. Oh, and as far as collegiate level studies are concerned. Most notorious universities will not allow Wikipedia as a reference as it is publicly sponsored.
Remember, without all of the information, it is still the wrong information.

I spent an entire class when I was 9 arguing with a teacher. I kept trying to get it through to her that the Sun is in fact a Star and all the other Stars up there are Suns. The Sun is a Star and Stars are not just far away lights.
I went to the School Library and Checked out a book to end the Argument. Weird thing was I think she was happy to learn that.

It make come as a surprise to some, but teachers are human beings. As such, they don't have omniscience. A mature student would ignore the occasionnal mistake. A childish one will think himself above learning and throw dirt at his teacher is some random internet forum. |

Teachers come in 2 distinct catagorys, those with a passion or at the very least a good understanding of the subject, and those who were too stupid to do anything useful and too arrogent to ask people "do you want fries with that".
Guess which one's more common. |

It's sad but I think there are about 20 useful things I have learned from being in school in the whole childhood I was there and I was someone who paid attention to subjects I found interesting, the majority of the stuff was either wrong or a blatant lie. When I left school and eventually the typical education system altogether I've been learning about hundreds of useful things each week and I'm not even exaggerating.
Such a failure of a system should not be forced on children, my best example with what I've been learning is how much history textbooks or teachers lie to you, William of orange wasn't trying to colonize the Irish, the economy wasn't saved through the printing of money and for fucks sake, the language used in Shakespeare isn't real English.

Unfortunately, a lot of universities offer "elementary education" degrees which offer very little actual education beyond child psych and classroom theory. I remember a lot of girls going into that major because "I like kids and would get summers off!" It's frightening how few teachers are in it for the love of knowledge.
My wife has a degree in biology and teaches sixth-grade science. She deals with the result of these half-educated teachers on a daily basis. Still, I place the majority of the blame for the state of our schools squarely on parents who refuse to work with the schools, and the politicians they elect. |

Yeah, too bad I never actually gave a wrong answer anywhere. A. D. stands for Anno Domini, that is true and I was not wrong about that you silly puddy.
Shadowsword wrote:It make come as a surprise to some, but teachers are human beings.
Yeah, and grown up human beings who are less educated than kids who never went to school shouldn't be teaching. The teacher I'm talking about is a slutty moron, plain and simple, and you don't have to be butt-hurt for her.

I'm not generalising. I've had lots of great teachers. This thread is about the dumb ones, we're supposed to post in here about the idiotic ones and laugh at them. I'm not here to make posts about how great I think some teachers are, that wouldn't be as fun. Dumb teachers are more of an anomaly, it's like a pet peeve of mine. If you are dumber than a dirty indian who skipped school all his life you shouldn't be teaching.

Is the slutty teacher teaching Christianity or was it a side topic for something else? In my experience with Religion, even the simple follower can go as far as to quote verses and tell you sequences of events in the bible.....their bible. And those who teach it do so religiously (tongue in cheek).
The first thing that I have noticed in most of these stories is that the teacher is just referred to as the teacher, but we have no clue what they are a teacher of.
And don't even get me started on NCLB. |

You forgot the last sentence I wrote: If you are in the position to correct someone, do it with ALL of the information... Here, I'll re-post so you don't have to go back a page and search for it:
"Remember, without all of the information, it is still the wrong information."
Teachers and students must be aware that this is the crucial part of any form of education. Half assed teaching of the subject of the American civil war (for example) makes one think that it was only about slavery. In fact, ALL of the information points out otherwise.
