I think everyone has an experience where they knew something obvious that the teacher didn't. Its because teachers aren't that smart. They are taught about child psychology and making lesson plans, not actual science and math and critical thinking.
I still remember my 7th grade biology teacher insisting that "blood is blue inside your body and only turns red when exposed to air, that's why your veins are blue."
Mine are relatively minor : Declaring that colts are "boy horses" and foals are "girl horses" (fillies are young female horses ; foals are baby horses in general) , and then the one who said that Tchiakovsky wrote War and Peace (written by Leo Tolstoy ; Tchiakovsky was a music composer ). There were other instances, but those are the two that stand out. This was in Elementary school ETA : In the 1970s.
Btw it was not my intention to take God's name in vain, it was simply what Jim Carrey said in the movie Liar Liar. I love that movie but I'm also a Christian, I don't encourage that in any way. No judgement here though, I respect people's freedoms :D
I get your response...it's just WAY out of context with regards to your comment and my response. If you were trying to insult me with your obvious non-sequitur then you'll be disappointed. You're entitled to your opinion and have the right to share it, and I have the right to disagree with you and regard your response as rude and passive-aggressive while believing you're probably a stand-up person who simply chose to respond with a lack of tact.
You catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Have a nice day.

What a dumb bitch.
"I caught a cold because i forgot my scarf and it was chilly"... that urban legend still lives in elderly people.
I remember when my 5th grade teacher insisted that a 6 mi by 6 mi square was 6 square miles and got mad at me when I said it wasn't.

But that's stupidity. The teacher in this letter knew they were messing up & then threw a fit when a student had the SHEER GAL to correct xim.
then spent half the letter explaining the argument and then ended it he was right but still...
As Norm MacDonald would say, "to be a 2nd grade teacher you only need a 3rd grade education."
I'm Not Norm
I love that channel
I'm Not Norm keeps me laughing all week when a video posts. If you want a guy that literally "DOES NOT GIVE A SHIT" it's Norm MacDonald.
Wait, Ham isn't meat? HELL! This is going to change my local Catholic Church's entire fish fry this Lent!
"Theyre not animals, theyre MAMMALS!" ..and.. "It's not an animal it's an insect"

HEY NOW!!!
Those who cant teach work for the government.
Those who can’t teach, teach gym
"he would be better off simply accepting my teachings"
upon receiving a letter like that, I would take my kid out for ice cream and talk about the value of detecting bullshit in adulthood

Love Star Trek. Patrick Steward is an acting genius.
Too bad he's a flaming loony lefty in real life. Otherwise, he is my favorite Enterprise Captain.
(And by "flaming" I mean flaming; also like "retarded", as in: You're fucking retarded, you dumb flaming liberal")
His episode of Frasier is hilarious.
And a cuck

Oh, so you're the one guy who likes Jim Carrey and thinks he's funny?
When he was popular back in the... 90s? I remember my friends going crazy about him. Doing his impressions.. "Spank you very much!"
Even back then, he was not funny.
Sorry, truth hurts.

His movies from the 90s are still funny.
Everything he did after the year 2000 is steaming garbage.
Hey, you wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world?
