My teachers don't often make factual errors, but they do make a lot of spelling errors. "Knif," anyone?!
It's gotten to the point where if the teacher's not talking, I can walk casually up to the board, take a piece of chalk, and correct it without anyone actually caring except for maybe a little "Thank you, Marie."
But yeah, that's pathetic. Children should have a healthy mind and not be so gullible, and if a teacher teaches a child to be gullible, that should be a crime.
Those are very easy mistakes to make. I know that if I'm trying to write something on the board and I'm trying to talk about the subject at the same time, it's very common for me to spell something incorrectly. I usually notice it before my students do, but I don't make a huge deal out of it if a student notices a mistake like that.
