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."
I hate to be "that guy" (oh, who am I kidding, I love being "that guy." Tremble at my profound knowledge of pedantic minutia) but a 2015 Yale study found that chilly noses are actually perfect breeding grounds for rhinoviruses, and that keeping your schnoz warm inhibits viral replication.
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.

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.
Korea: fans used to circulate air chop atoms apart and can lead to asphyxiation and cannot be used for more than a few hours without causing death.
Japan: I went outside in the rain for 30 minutes and now I have a deathly fever that requires a suppository
Still more believable than masks working

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"
She was probably thinking of Nebraska
HEY NOW!!!
I was insulting the teacher, not the most central of the states of America.
I would love to live in any of them.
Those who cant teach work for the government.
Those who can’t teach, teach gym
