Yes occasionally, I usually only mutter it quietly so only my peers can hear it and laugh at the teacher though.

Only happened once. I asked a question to a new teacher that I already knew the answer for in order to test his knowledge. He admitted to not knowing the answer. Felt kinda nice to stump a teacher, even a new one.

I once had to explain what an eclipse was (his only excuse is that he was a math teacher).
I pwned my history teacher for a good half-year when we were going through 20th century history. Good times.
I was over almost all of my middle school teachers, but I go to an advanced high school where the teachers are ivy league grads, so there's no such thing as "outsmarting" them, just bringing a new argument to the table
I taught both Advanced Chemistry and AP Physics for my teacher in high school, does that count? More people asked me how to do stuff than him, but, alack, he was a dolt. I also broke my English teacher with a few of my papers, but she was of the dirty hippie type, not the fun English teacher type. You know it's bad when you learn more about your own language in a Latin class than in four semesters of English.
Yes a few times, in high school I got into computers and read a lot on them and was building websites my teacher didn't understand himself. They moved me up a level and I was confusing that teacher too, I just wanted to learn more and all I wound up doing was bipassing the schools web censoring program to read more on the subjects that I wanted to read on.
In college it was the same story, teachers were teaching how to use the airbrush tool in photoshop and the pen tool in illustrator.
This may sound cocky but I'm just convinced that the best way to learn computers/art with computers is simply to do it yourself, school doesn't seem to ever cut it. Which is upsetting because I had to pay for stuff I knew already.

Yes. Thank god you have Wikipedia. Wikipedia is never wrong. There's only like an average of 4 errors per page. Not a big deal at all.swaki said:
I'm a teacher and the level of arrogance and superiority in this thread is absolutely astonishing. Teacher's are first and foremost people. We are fallible, prone to having bad days, being over tired or over worked.
This is especially true of newer teachers. I spent my days teaching 3 classes, correcting work on my preparation period, staying well after school and then heading home to prepare lessons. My days were and still are 16,17,18 hour affairs where all I do is continuous work related to my students and the classes I teach.
I think Socrates said it best when he said "All I know is that I know nothing."
I'd only go head to head with my Senior Astronomy teacher, he loved to be challenged, but I was the only one in the class smart enough understand advanced Astronomy theories enough to challenge him, the rest of the class would be completely lost about what we were talking about. I sometimes came out of our little sessions victorious, and there was never any bad blood between us...
That class made me feel like a god amongst dumbasses, seriously I was in a class of Douchebags and Vallygirls...

Only in history, and anything to do with military history in particular, as you could have probably guessed. One incident in my Honors Civics class comes to mind when my teacher; who was "teaching" us a little about the Vietnam War. She said that Vietnam was the first war in which helicopters were used, which is a piece of obvious bullshit, because anyone with any remote connection to military history or even pop culture(M*A*S*H [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M*A*S*H_%28TV_series%29] anyone?) When I told her that she was flat out wrong, she just gave me an eat shit look and told me that I have no business correcting her and that I was wrong. Then I just asked the class "Who has seen that show MASH?" Then they all laughed, damn that teacher hated me.
If the people you work with are twits, you should consider them fellow employees instead of colleagues.dante brevity said:
OT: I have, once or twice, stopped my English teacher by presenting a point of view he hadn't thought of before. Usually I'm the kind of guy who points out that the teacher wrote something wrong on the chalkboard but I don't go looking for trouble. Its my last year so I want to leave this school with a minimum amount of fuss.
during intermediate my social studies teacher and i had a rivalry i hated her she was a cow so i took it out by proving that i was better than her and i succeeded most of the time it was gratifying
unfortunately she resigned 3/4 of the way through the year because she got snapped sleeping with her boss
and some times in philosophy when i woke up long enough to get the gist of the class and Dr legg was really good
