That's just stupid giving someone a detention because they corrected a teacher, I've always felt the need to correct the teacher if I felt that they said something that was wrong whether be anwser or their spelling and I never got in trouble for it.

The teachers who act like Mr Hilliker need learn to accept that they (the teachers) aren't always right and that even they need to learn to accept their mistakes and learn from them.

Whether you are a Student, a Teacher, a Office Worker, etc. you are always learning something new in your life and knowledge is the power in the key to learning in life.

That's really silly and it's also wrong teaching kids the incorrect stuff. I can remember a girl getting expelled for voicing an opinion. It was her own personal opinion apparently and I think it's stupid that some teachers think that they're better than the children.

My high school had an honor code sub-rule that included something to the effect of "If you believe the teacher is wrong, please see him after class. If he is not correct, and he does not correct his error, please mention it politely at end of the next class."

There was a teacher out in Alberta a few years ago that was fired because he was teaching his studens that the Holocaust did not happen. It was insane. He simply didn't believe it had happened, so he marked students wrong when they insisted that it had. It was a really big idiocy of a situation.
So this... this is nothing to me. But it's still pretty stupid if it's real.

LOL in the paper recently, there was a teacher that was fired because he was giving his primary school students homework about swear words.

When asked about it, he replied, "I wanted to make homework more fun."


Hold onto your seats people... the SL is back.

I've contradicted my teachers so many times, it's insane.

That teacher is just plain out... Dumb.

Sometimes I plan to make mistakes in front of my students. I use it to see which students are and have been paying attention. If they catch my mistakes, they earn a "smarter than the teacher" point :)

But a fairy godparent can make that true! :D

That is flipping idiotic. I hope the kid's parents had a lot more sense. What surprises me even more is that the rest of the class believed the teacher. O_o

I correct my teachers if they're wrong. One time, my science teacher was insisting that the atomic number was the number of electrons. It took three of us to convince her to check. (In my class, three students is three-fifths of the class. :P)

Math teachers tend to make mistakes cause they solve the problems for the class on the spot, so when we correct them, they're like, "oh? really?"

If we don't, they're like, that's not right, and go check their working.

And how do you get a science class of 5 people. o.O


AGREE!!!

It happens. It's not the worst thing that happens. I had a teacher once who almost let a kid talk his way out of being written up for sexual harassment, and one who tried to get my mother to put me on medication, and one who swore repeatedly that a student could not possibly have taken a test and would have to take a zero because it was too late to make it up(thus giving him a failing grade for the course), until he went through the papers strewn all over her desk and handed her his already-graded test.

There's a trick to correcting teachers: correct them in the form of a question. "I thought that the second declension didn't have feminine nouns?" "Don't apes lack tails?" It's less satisfying, but you're still right and they're still wrong.

I love that you got that joke!!!!!!!!!!


But yea, I mean just stick to the textbooks, after you're done teaching the lecture you can input whatever, but insist that you're in NO WAY trying to influence them. Although in the end you WILL influence them so it's just a very narrow road.

omg! If I was that parent, I'd have a thing or two to say to the administration of the school AND the teacher.

My teachers do that all the time and love to see people correcting them. Though one time in class I corrected my teacher (it was world geography...kinda hard to get away with lying to the class) and she insulted me. I just insulted her right back :) no detention or anything because she always insults the students in my class so I had everyone in the class ready to back me up if I went to the principal. Some teachers are really touched...

Correction: A school of five people. I love it. :D I'm not going to go into details right here, but basically it's a school for kids who need a different "environment".

I mention that one sometimes in math class. One of my classmates usually replies with "tunafish + tunafish = fournafish".

I think I do that sometimes, but I generally don't need to, because I don't think I've ever had a teacher who minded being corrected (which is a good thing, because nothing can keep me from doing it. I think it's an obsessive-compulsive tendency of sorts.)

Heh, I like that. I'd probably do something like that if I were to become a teacher (which is a job I could never handle, but it's still fun to think about stuff like that.)
