whats the most ignorant thing one of your teachers have said?

[Lizardon]

I have a real good one that happened to my little sister. Her teacher was convinced that white sheep didn't exist, simply based on the fact that she had never seen one. The class couldn't convince her that living in dusty paddocks makes animals dirty and appear brown.

And yes I know that there are breeds of sheep with different coat colours but no farmers around where we live had any besides "white".

I can't quite think of one, to be honest I can readily think of many awesome things teachers have said but not really ignorant things. At least, not off the top of my head.

My favorite being when our science teacher somehow beat us our collective minds in a dicussion whether he was immortal or not, turns out he's immortal

He once said at the end of the human race he'd still teach in an empty classroom, just for nostalgia.

Back when I had my long hair and we were doing biology presentation I got decomposition out of the draw. During presentation I used a quote about the ammonia gases given off creating the pungent smell of death from my source.

After I finish the teacher says "Glad we got you on that, seems you really like all the dark things about the smell of death. Works well with your character"

Not dark at all and actually hated that topic since I had to look through pictures and videos of decomposition (loses your appetite). Just turned round and sat down as people around me were like "man that was horrible!"

EDIT. I just remembered another time. My English teacher was telling us about identity
Her- Your name is a huge part of your identity and determines a lot about you
Me- No it doesn't. I'd be the same person if my name was Bob or Mark.
Her- What if your name was Hitler
Me- What?

Once again video games save the day without someone knowing it.That should have shown him.

OT:Well I can't recall anything.I've pushed all the memories of my teacher out of my mind.Damn I hated that school.

 

[8-Bit Grin]

My English teacher refused to believe that 'snide' was a word.
...
... Dumbass.

 

[Darth Brownie]

I remind one of my teachers threatening us to tear one of our arms off and beat us to death with the bleeding part.

Not an ignorant quote, but funny nonetheless

 

[Snipermanic]

we were doing German depth study all last year and WW2 was mentioned over 2 paragraphs in the entire text book, when I asked my teacher he claimed it wasn't a significant turning point...

this is the same "teacher" who when asked "why in times of hardship do people stereotypically turn to turnips?" he answer "they grow in the ground so are quite hardy" - Most things grow in the ground, unless we're eating fucking vines now

I had an 8th grade U.S History teacher who commented on the Terry Shiavo case (back when it was the top story in the news) "Well, she's not really there anymore and is nothing more than a vegetable..they should just pull the plug and save everyone the trouble."

I promply stood up and said that her comment was out of line. I'm not consevative by any stretch but I do detest people who think a human being has no worth simply because they're currently unable or no longer able to communicate or move their body.

She was alot more gone than that.

OT: sorry, can't think of any. I guess I had good teachers.

Well, a teacher of mine once told me, that life was just a list, of dissapointments and defeats, and you can only do your best, and i said "Well that's a fucking cop out, your washed up and your tired, and when i get to your age well, i won't be such a coward."

If someone gets that reference they get a million internetz.

OT: While this isn't 'ignorant' as it is 'redundant as hell', my Algebra teacher once said "You guys need to get this packet done, cuz if you don't do it, it won't be done!"

Oh, and while we were talking about slavery my history teacher went over a gigantic list of stereotypes that A) was completely unnessecary, and B) Managed to piss off damn near every person in the class.

"The rest of us don't live in your communist utopia". All I did was put my hand up for the option of not really 'worshipping' money. I've been without it for the majority of my life and so it doesn't really motivate me as much as it does some people. I really wanted to beat that ignorant person up.

It all depends on who has the medical right of attoney.
If the family does it's their call, if it's the husband's then it's his.

I myself would just arrange things in advance of such a thing happened to me and either let my partner decdide or just have the hospital do it if nothing else could be done.

Your avatar makes that statement even more awesome.

@DarkHourPrince

Sounds like my old english teacher, where was/is she teaching?

 

[Muramasa89]

She an observer during lunch breaks (just reports problems), not an actual teacher, but a friend had a little test. He's a generally smart kid, and the question he didn't know was:

What is the longest river in the world?

She was confident it was the Mississippi River. I knew it was the River Nile, and it was fun to brag the next day.

Personally I feel both should have known this.

There was a few other bits of ignorance I've encountered, such as the speed of light is always 300,000,000 M/S (roughly). Coming from a Science teacher I found it stupid, since it's only at that speed in a vacuum, i.e. space.

I don't know that this is ignorant, but it was the weirdest thing I've seen a teacher do. He was a substitute in history class.

He came in, rested his arms on the desk, and rested his head on his arms, face down.
About 25 minutes pass, the class getting rowdy and talking to one another at this point.
Mr. Perry is still lying on the desk.
Abruptly he stands up, chair scraping on the ground, and shouts "I HATE MY LIFE!"
Class falls silent.
He proceeds to turn around to the bookshelf with a glass door, and stares at his reflection with his hands behind his back for the rest of the class, while everybody sat in silence.
Bell rings, complete waste of class.

I had a similar experience during GNVQ Intermediate Business. It was time for our customer service lesson and we had just had a visit/meeting from a Managing Director of Pizza Express (which was pressed on me for some reason - our head teacher was sacked and as a result no-one really knew who was in charge - so my name was put forward - even though I was a student - wierd).

Anywho, our teacher comes in, red faced, glazed over eyes and smelling of alcohol. He sits down and starts talking about his ex wife. We're all gob smacked and one of the girls asks if he would like some tea or coffee (which he did) and then we just got on with a rather uncomfortable lesson. A few days later he was sacked for being drunk on the job. What can you expect from the second worst school in the borough?

Another one was when I was moved up from Set 2 to Set 1 in Maths (Set 1 - best class, Set 3 - worst class). This was supposed to be one of my proudest moments in life because I have massive problems with maths. So I move into the new class with many of my friends, and during the class the teacher couldn't handle the class and basically started shouting "shut up! shut up! what are you doing?! My year 7's can do better than this". Now my confidence in my math ability at this point was completely shot. I started copying my friend's work afterwards because I figured I'd screw up all the work.

Subsequently when we switched teachers at the end of the year (I had my old Set 2 teaching us) he said that my ability had gone down a lot and I had to learn from a SATS's book for 11/12 year olds (I was 16) in preparation for the Maths GCSE exams. Still, he did give that teacher a bollocking which cheered me up somewhat but the damage was done.

Not ignorant , just really funny. During religious studies several idiots, all friends with one another, came in late at the same time with different claims of why they were late. The teacher was really annoyed and started shouting, trying to get them to tell him why they were off, and shouted ''I WANT THE TRUTH'' several times, and however hard I tried to stop myself I stood up and shouted back '' YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH! Son, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom''. He just looked at me and said ''wait outside'' where I burst out in laughter.

Same teacher for each of these comments:

- "Well, women are superior to men in every way. All men can do that women can't is pee standing up."

- "No boy is allowed in this form-room again! I'm giving the keys to the girls, they obviously didn't leave it in such a state."

What's worse is she was, like, thirty. Young.
