I got into trouble in 2nd grade for contradicting a teacher who insisted that the Earth was the closest planet to the Sun.

Public education in our country is 99.99999% shit.

My science teacher said "Some day we'll land a spaceship on Mars". We already had.

My science teacher said we would never have touch screen computers. In the year 2000.

He actually said that the touch screen computers at the time were “different because they just had pre-set touch zones and there will never be a full touchscreen computer”.

I got detention in 1st grade because the PE teacher heard me call a girl a 'sexy pig'. I actually called her a sexist pig in response to her saying girls rule boys drool during boys vs girls volleyball. When I told the assistant principal my perspective it was rejected because a 1st grader wouldn't know what a sexist is and calling someone a sexy pig apparently makes more sense. They actually told me I didn't know what a sexist was, even though I was absorbing Limbaugh on the daily riding in the car with my parents. I don't think pointing that out would have helped my case though. Public education folks.
