when i was a kid i got a 90% on my kindergarten "what are your favorite things?" test because for the question "what is your favorite animal?" i wrote down "puma" and it got marked wrong because my teacher said a puma isnt even an animal its a kind of shoe
when i was in third grade we were studying fractions on the floor and i went up to solve a fraction at the board and after i solved it my teacher was like "HOW COULD YOU EVER DO THAT. GO SIT AT YOUR DESK." and i was like. what did i do. i didnt do anything. and she was like "YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID." so i had to go sit at my desk with my head down for an hour straight because she made me stay in for recess too. i asked her what she thought i did the next day and she was like what? i dont remember making you do that
in my senior year government class my history teacher was asking on what basis is the united states government legally allowed to discriminate. and i raised my hand and said the united states government discriminates in law based on sex. and my teacher laughed and he said "isnt that such a classic teenage boy thing. always thinking about sex." and then he was like "the united states government discriminates based on gender." the textbook we were reading from used the term sex.
this thread has been "times teachers thought they were smarter than me but they were stupid and pissed me off" thank you
I could not convince a teacher in elementary school that 3/6 = 2/4. She was convinced that because one wasn't a whole number multiple of the other they aren't equal. I tried to show that they both equaled 1/2 and thus each other but was unsuccessful. I had to sit in the hall after arguing this for a while.
