It's like when people say females have an extra hole.
..No? Guys have one too. It's just at the end of a fleshy rod.
I already dislike this woman for her sexism, if she meant it.
whats the most ignorant thing one of your teachers have said?

I'm sorry but what?!
There was no need for this reaction from you. Especially not getting her fired. Her statement was perfectly valid (whether it was how he actually felt is irrelevant) but she said that as an understanding
sentiment rather than saying he doesn't understand anything. You shouldn't have said that at all.
My group was giving a presentation. While I was doing the conclusion my buddy was going around passing out snacks. By mistake my buddy missed the teacher (she was the head of the religion department and the class was world religions). She asked as I was speaking "Excuse me I didn't get any food, am I black here or what?"
I don't understand, I mean, yeah, smoking isn't illegal so its not wrong in the eyes of the law. Technically its not hurting anyone other than the user, so I guess its not ethnically wrong. But its been proven to cause cancer and other than relieving stress, it holds no medical value. So, in a sense, it is wrong cause its killing you, just slowly.captainfluoxetine said:
P.S. this isn't a slur at people who smoke, I don't care if you do, just don't deny the facts to support your habits.
What was wrong with that response? I genuinely don't believe the teacher got fired over that. I can't see anything wrong with what she said. At any rate, your response was completely unfair.Reaper195 said:
It's not ignorant. You're teacher was clearly distressed. Did no one talk to them? Or tell another teacher?Diligent said:
this isnt so much as what my teacher said, but what they were about to do. in sixth grade i got in a fight with an African American kid (and before i say anymore,i would like to say that im not racist by any means). we got in a fight and a teacher came and broke it up. when we get to the principals office, she asked what happened. we explained that we never much cared for each other and that we got in a dispute on the play ground that ended up with us fighting. now the kid i fought pull a dick move and claimed i called him the N-word. i honestly did not call him that but the principal didn't believe me. she asked other kids who witnessed the conflict about whether i did or not. his friends said i did, my friends and people who are not even associated with either of us said i didn't. but she believed him over me and almost expelled me for something i didnt do. it took a lot of yelling from my mom on the phone before the principal changed her mind. this post may have been a little off topic but i think it still works because like the OP it is something that stays in my mind.
lol. I like your teacher. I'm sure mine made a similar joke, once. Admittedly, it's an obvious one.Lacsapix said:
the teacher was insulting the kids intelligence in front of the entire class. also the kids mother just died and she is making fun of him.molesgallus said:
*Talking to my math teacher about wishing I had lived in the late 50/60/70's*
She told me that if I lived back then I would have been a piece of shit and that I'd be living at the YMCA.
I almost pimp slapped her.

Surprisingly, most of my high school teachers were fairly smart. But we had a lot of pretty stupid moments with this long-term substitute teacher while our normal teacher was pregnant.
I remember we were reading a excerpt from "Gulliver's Travels," and the book was telling us to look out for the social commentary and parodies that were related to life in England at the time. We read it silently.
When we discussed the book, she started asking "did anyone see the social commentary?" and I pointed out the part where they were waging war over how to crack their eggs. It was obviously making fun of the religious conflict in England at the time. She replied "Very good! Did you get that on the first read through?
"Uh, yes."
That's pretty good. I had trouble getting it, I had to read many parts of this book about 3 times over to understand them. Its like he was hiding a lot of his criticism and parodies in here."
What? It was obvious. Everybody got it except her.
She was also annoyingly religious. As we discussed the book, the topic of religion eventually came off and we sort of went off topic, until the teacher started discussing her nephew. "His parents raised him Catholic, but he said he's not sure yet and is still thinking about what religion, if any, to choose. But I don't understand why he doesn't just suck it up and go with Catholicism. I know a lot of kids his age are like that, but he's being so stubborn about it, But you know, one day it all passes and eventually they mature and accept it."
Oh, stop being silly and thinking so much! Just choose Catholic you silly kid, why would you want to be something else? Ugh...

Hahahaha. Your avatar fit perfectly with that.Les Awesome said:
In what way is she making fun of him, or insulting his intelligence? A lot of very intelligent people experience denial after a traumatic event, and appear to be taking it very well. They can, however, be falling apart, and soon break down. It was, at worst, presumptuous. I mean, maybe he didn't like his mum, or wasn't as emotional as most people. It was wrong for the teacher to assume that. But it was hardly the grievous crime that the posters response, and the schools response seems to imply.escapistrules said:
Maybe I like a couple of people here just had relatively good teachers.
But I did get a bit peeved when we were taking notes, I had everything the teacher was writing down on my sheet of paper, then she immediately turns to me and tells me to stop doodling and to get the notes down.
I'll admit I sometimes doodle. I listen better better when my hands are kept busy. I don't doodle when I have something such as note taking or other written work to keep my hands busy. She should have checked my work before she made such claims. I don't hate her for it, but still.

Most of that guy's posts have consisted of un-contributory stuff like this. I'd ignore him.rokkolpo said:
OT: Oddly enough, none of my teachers have ever really said something immensely ignorant, not in terms of being flat-out wrong, such as with the belief that Greece isn't part of Europe as one poster mentioned. They've given their opinions, but they've never been wrong (as opinions are subjective, you can't really class them as truly "right" or "wrong", and none of these opinions have been based on idiotic assumptions that could either).
My science teachers did do the whole "There are are only three states of matter", but I think that's more the curriculum attempting to simplify things rather than the teachers' stupidity.
My teacher in 11th grade went on a rant for bout an hour about how the moon landings were fake along with a bunch of other conspiracy theories.
And in 10th grade in a history class my teacher pretty much went off on this girl who was talking about how she never teaches us anything (she didn't...she sat behind her computer all day looking at places to go vacation while she just stuck notes on the overhead and forgot about us) the day before when we had a substitute. Some girls that liked the teacher told her, and that's when she went off on how she does teach and don't talk about her behind her back. After that incident, she made an attempt at teaching by standing next to the overhead with the notes while doing nothing once again.
The next year she became an AP..the year after that, got fired. Yay. I hated that ***** with a passion.

I was once thrown out from the class and had my work ripped up for using figurative speech in a fictional book we had to write for an assignment. We had to write about our characters taking part in a sport against a famous practitioner. I chose to have my character face off against Michael Schumacher at racing. To describe the feelings of my protagonist has he walking to his car I used the sentence "His heart slowed to what felt like a beat per second"... Not the best of writing but I was 8 at the time. My English teacher told me that "Your heart can't possibly slow to a beat per second" and then ripped my work in half. Then I told her that I was being figurative, I.e exaggerating to make it sound more dramatic. So she kicked me out of her class.
Was a real stupid ***** this teacher was. I don't know who gave her a license.
She threw another student out for admitting he'd never read a newspaper before.
But me'h, my mother wasn't too happy to hear about her sons work being ripped up for no good reason and put a complaint into the Education and I think she now scrubs toilets.

You're white to a black kid...no seriously though one of my teachers was very anti-masterbation and said whoever even does it once is doomed to burn in hell for eternity.
