Dumbest Things Heard In School

[PuffTheMagicDragon]

Ok, im from ireland yeah...
I'm in my last year of secondary school before i head off to college, so it's all good...

So i go in on the last day of 5th year (2nd last year b4 college) the entire school is called into the hall for a big assembly, which in turn we hear our principal and vice pricipal, both really funny guys, but the sad part was they were resigning...

Felt really bad that they were going and all, but then a few days later i kept thinking...
"Who will take over now?"

Well our new principal and vice principal are women, but our new principal came up with this stupid rule...

and this i quote "You must have your journal with you at all times, even if you want to go to the bathroom, going on a message for your teacher"

also from my history teacher...

teacher : "Do questions 1-5 on pg 5 for tomorrow"
my friend: "But Miss, nobody has the book new book yet, how can we do it?"

and yes, nobody had the book yet and her reply was

teacher: "Well you'll have to do it when you get the book"

Teacher:Now what is the most notable fact about Saudi Arabia.
Student:That's not Saudi Arabia.That's Iraq.And they're most notable for terrorist.
MeTo Student)Are you a complete idiot.Not only does the map say Saudi Arabia.But second,there is no Ocean around Iraq.And third.It's most notable fact is the amount of oil under it's ground.

I never really liked that kid.But the fact that such stupidity is still in the 8th grade scares me.Now i´m not saying that all kids in the 8th grade are smart.But that is too much.

Teacher: So which side won in WW2

Student: Well technically the Germans did win

All:

Scary thing was that the student in question was studying at university...

Note: This is one of my cousins many stories so it may not be accurate

Back when I went to school the dumbest thing I heard was when we were discussing the 2000 European Championships:

Girl in class: I think Brazil will win them

Another heard in work recently was:

Is Milan a country?

"fuck i got stung by a bee. does this make me spiderman now"

during sex ed class (this is the same guide 3 times)
"Guys can't get breast cancer ... can they?"

I'm not sure how you thought this was stupid, but yes, they can have breast cancer.

[standokan]

Some skinhead was yelling 'all turkish people back to maroko', combining discrimination with being a moron, genius! oh and not to forget, teacher: if you say one other thing you'll be expelled, classmate: why?, expelled, -.-, he isn't that smart.

 

[TriggerUnhappy]

"Grades matter!"

"Grades are good motivators. Aren't you motivated, when you get... uhm... yeah, you are, right?"

"Math is everywhere, without it we wouldn't be able to do anything!"

"People only improve when they work in groups!!"


The last one really made me chuckle. Good thing she (the teacher) didn't hear it.

All of these. I've heard so many idiotic things from other students that I'm never really phased, though hearing teachers say this stuff always brings sarcastic remarks and laughter.

I was coming back into school after spending the morning at the arranged work placement I was doing to try and get into a primary education course at Uni, so my thursday mornings were spent helping out at my local primary school because I had a double free period. I came into school and was about to sign in as usual and I saw something that just knocked me for six.

One of the most well known violently idiotic thugs in the school had come in late. He had signed in as late and gave his reason. His reason?

He "Sleeped in".

His own words, written on the late register in the school office. I nearly died laughing.

 

[IncindiaryPickle]

I had a social studies substitute teacher that was angry that France didn't help us invade Iraq
"...we stopped eating French fries..." (we being him and his wife) I just facepalmed for the rest of the day.

Geography class, a girl was giving a lecture for extra credit. Normally I avoid pointing out mistakes during these moments, for the sake of a schoolmate's grade, but calling this girl "stupid" is a compliment.

"So, there were like, some problems in the border between, er... Pakistan and Iraq--"
Me: "Also known as Iran."

Same girl, 10 minutes before a test about WWII: "Was the US with the Allies or the Entente?"

Same girl. We had been discussing in class about the economy of México. The girl asks "What's the main export of Mexico, then?", to which I reply "Janitors and housemaids", which she proceeds to write down on her book.

This happened today in class, when my friend asked me a question.

My Friend: Matt, was World War I when we became free from England?
Me: *face palm* Really Morgan? really?
My Friend: Is it?
Me: No that was the American Revolution
My Friend: oh yeah!

 

[Aqualung]

We were talking about Swine Flu, and funnily enough, the teacher asks,

"What is the biggest export of pork?"

"PIGS!!"

Ah, but to be fair, he's a really nice guy and may have said that on purpose for giggles.

"Guys can't get breast cancer ... can they?"

I'm not sure how you thought this was stupid, but yes, they can have breast cancer.

I recall one person in Government class saying, in all seriousness, "I think President Bush is doing a good job." The year was 2006.

That's an opinion, not a fact.

It actually shines worse on you than them to be so narrow-minded.

Yes it is an opinion.
Here's some other opinions for you:
The Nazis had the right idea.
Stalin wasn't such a bad guy.
Robert Mugabe is a decent human being.

See what I'm getting at?

And I'd appreciate it if you didn't insult me based on two sentences.

To be fair, insulting people based on two or less sentences is sort of what this forum?s about ? it?s exactly what you just did and it?s exactly what I?m about to do now:

?So, who actually wrote Anne Frank?s Diary??

(After observing someone drinking from a bottle of frozen water)
?Wow, that?s really clever. Why do you do that??
?So the water stays cold during a warm day.?
?Oh [short pause] but how do you get the ice in the bottle??

To be fair, there's a difference between insulting someone (or in this case, their online avatar) directly and repeating an anonymous person's statement aren't quite the same. Not to mention that they didn't really contribute anything to this thread. And to keep myself from falling into the same category...

Teacher: So who here can name a country on the UN Security Council?
Student: Asia.

when a guy in my class pointed at Gothenburg and said "I thought Stockholm was larger" (for those that don't know Stockholm is Sweden's capital and Gothenburg is located on the other side of Sweden)

There were only 2 students in my AP Calculus class, Cody and I. We were writing equations on the white board with blue generic dry erase markers when I tried to mess with him a bit and said "Hey, these markers smell like blue berries.", to which he replied "Really?" and sniffed it. Both my teacher and I laughed at him.

Mr.C- Moonie...did you just suggest the boat shrunk or was eaten by a whale?

This all went down in the last 3 days.

Art History in College.

Prof: ...plagiarism is bad...don't plagiarize....
Student: Can we paraphrase? If so, how do we site it?
Prof: If you wish report an extended quote by separating it out of the main body of a paragraph and indenting both sides, that would be helpful when reading you papers. You would site it normally.

I dropped the class that day.

By the way, the above is an example of paraphrasing.

my college professor threatened to kick me out of school because he counted my book quotes which were sited and my paraphrases as plagiarism, this professor also wanted a quote and a paraphrase in every paragraph of my paper
