Out of Pod Experience

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.

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.

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.

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)

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 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.

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 'ye olde' English.

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.




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.
