Most Inaccurate Lessons You Were Taught in School

[CargoHold]

Religion was a compulsory unit at my Catholic high school. 'Nuff said.

 

[Lord Monocle Von Banworthy]

Communism is a totalitarian regime with a command economy, and has been shown not to work by the former USSR. This in a college class on government.

this is one of the most perpetuated lies i hear. i also hear so much crap about communism when people are talking about socialism, not to mention the abuse of the word anarchy.

OT: nuclear energy is completely safe....
i'm pritty sure radioactive waste, the defilement of landscape, nuclear reactions them selves, a few other things are completely harmless.

Nuclear energy IS safe, just not the level we have achieved yet, if we could obtain complete nuclear fission, we would be left with non-radioactive isotopes of elements, extracting all possible energy from actinides and lanthanides,

i'm pritty sure soaking up too many gamma rays will give you 'sunburn' at the very least. (cancer useually takes a while after exposure)

AAAAh, but the whole purpose of a nuclear reactor is to take the alpha, beta, gamma, and less common radioactive particles and use them to spin a magnet around a wire, if the reactor was perfected, the radiation escaping from it would be trivial compared to sunlight

I thought I'd get through the whole thing. Damn.

You need to study more. Nuclear reactors use radiated HEAT to make STEAM to turn turbines. They're just like coal plants except we get our heat from a different place. It's not like the Enterprise's warp core where we somehow harness the radiation itself to do our techno-magic.

My mum would have been a 17 year old girl in those stalls, but she had her ticket nicked whilst she was on the train down there.

0.0 Christ, that's fateful. Makes you wonder if the guy who nicked her ticket survived..

The Sun were proper douches after Hillsborough. I'm a Liverpudlian myself and no one buys the Sun here these days, even after the Sun issued an formal apology.

Their reporting on the Hillsbourgh disaster is not the only reason to not buy the Sun, it really is a news paper for the mentally challenged, to put it lightly.


On topic now.
1)I think they exagerated the damage which certain drugs do you in PSE lesson.(for instance weed)
2)Being taught that there are only 3 states of matter

3)The amount of bias that went into our history lesson regarding the slave trade. It was more a lesson to instill white guilt rather than actual history. That has always annoyed me and i've hated political correctness since.

I went to a small primary school in my village (Sum total of about 30 students), and my headmistress was nuttier than squirrel faeces. Where do I start?

Multiplication of (say) 37x18 was taught as 3x1 + 3x8 + 7x1 + 7x8. In essence, confusing the FOIL method you use in multiplying brackets. This was my headmistress teaching here
-The mistake was quickly realised by the only competent teacher around.

And the locals were surprised by the low grades (Average SATS levels of 3,3,4), and the fact that the school was closed.

 

[Glass_House]

Well most of our lessons are accurate I think... but some of our teachers are retarded.. One of my history teachers asked us how to spell marriage and tomorrow.... and our maths teacher can't spell extreme or lose...

 

[ethaninja]

English probably. All they teach is poetry and shit. But it seems kids these days speak some sort of alien language other then English.

Dinosaurs died out 4 million years ago, from a flood. The Shroud of Turin is real. Conception doesn't require penetration. Jesus is the first and only zombie. . .so far.

Catholic school has the biggest whoppers.

[inyourface]

how about zerodivided by zero, by all logic that makes 1

[inyourface]

0/0=c
thus 0=0*c
thus 0=0
As c can be any real number 0/0 equals all real numbers.

thank you! the first person to explain it in a manner that a 13 year old boy going to a state school (admitedly a grammer school but still a state school) can understand!

Your welcome. This is why your calculator doesn't like you if you ask it to do this.

yeah, i noticed, that also explains why a friend of mine looked it up and found that out (failed at explaining it though) and proposed the theory that 0/0= gluestick

Though now that i think about it c can be a complex number but you don't need to know about those until a-level (or whatever your equivalent is)

1 + 1 = 2. This might me correct about 75% of the time, but one plus one can just as well equal three.

1 + 1 = 2. This might me correct about 75% of the time, but one plus one can just as well equal three.

It actually equals a window.

I can't wait for someone saying they regretted going to a Catholic School.

Our music teacher had us sing about Jolly Ol' Saint Nick... THEY LIED! HE'S NOT REAL!

I went to an episcopalian school. White supremacy FTW

 

[cartzo]

i remember in a geography lesson a very long time ago, my teacher said that the theory that all the continents were once as one was preposterous.

My schools so far and my current college are all pretty good, so I was largely not misinformed. However drugs education... More recently they've been more honest with us but when I was younger it was just full of lies.

My primary school was a Church of England school, but wasn't all that religious. We had to sing hymns but that was pretty much it.

My WW1 history isn't that good but I'm pretty sure it was Austro-Hungary started it when Serbia (I think) woundn't released their independance from them.

I think only some of Serbia was under Austrian control, and some people there decided to assassinate the arch-duke.

However the alliance system and the aggressiveness and will to fight of many of the countries was more of a factor I believe.

Germany was forced to accept the 'War Guilt Clause' as part of the treaty of Versailles which blamed them alone for starting the war.

 

[TheSeventhLoneWolf]

If I didn't act more enthusiastic I wouldn't survive highschool.


HA!

Art lesson.

Teacher a randomly goes ''Cheer up, Jason. Why are you always so miserable?'

Most inaccurate thing an art teacher has ever told me, it's difficult to prove an art teacher wrong, some are in their own little world.

[TheRundownRabbit]

That the war of 1812 was a close battle, LOL most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. America totally owned them.

I do. It went to hell instantly when the principal when from a nun to an outside person. -shudders-
