I had a history teacher in high school talk for twenty minutes, then stop and ask if there were any questions. There were none. He then told us to tear up our notes as everything he'd said for the past twenty minutes was completely made up, and that we should always question what we are being told, and not to just accept things at face value. It might be one of the best lessons I ever learned.

[@dragonbretheren]

@@chinookh4713 In the workforce, I'd much rather have employees who feel comfortable questioning things that are provably right rather than those who never feel comfortable questioning things they think are wrong. The former is a bit time consuming but relatively harmless, and may serve as a good learning opportunity. The latter may lead to a catastrophic error that could have been prevented.

LoL we literally burned our new history books one year because they wasn't lining up with actual history, and they had the nerve to change how the Constitution was worded and tried to say that certain things never happened but focused on other things that wasn't nearly as important...so we went back to our old falling apart books rather than use the new books they sent us because they were lying about history in it. Especially the second amendment... that one was the nail in the coffin for that book.

I remember making my 10th grade biology teacher mad when I corrected her. She claimed that the platypus was the ONLY egg-laying mammal (it isn't, the spiny anteater/echidna lays eggs as well). This was back before the internet was widespread and you could easily look up things on your phone, so I got permission to go to the library, photocopy a page from an encyclopedia, and then showed her. Thankfully she didn't give me detention or anything, but I could tell she wanted to. A lot of teachers really don't like having students question them or proving them wrong. So I feel that miles/kilometers boy's pain.

My history teacher in my 10th grade year was so pissed off I proved him wrong that he tried to fail me. I went over his head and he was forced to give me at least an A- in his class. He was so mad that he told me that I would never graduate as I needed Government to get my diploma and he was the only person who taught thecourse. I tested out of both Government and 12th grade English to graduate a year early. He was so pissed that he didn't get a second chance to fail me that he took his anger out on my younger brother 8 years later and told him why he did it. My parents almost got him fired but his wife was on the school board and vetoed the firing.

[@anserbauer309]

Similar with my year 10 biology teacher; we were supposed to identify a particular footprint in an image which, had I read my guide book, I'd have known was thought to be of a small, wetland dinosaur. I said it looked like a capybara footprintprint. The teacher (a qualified botanist with whom I really didn't get along) said "There's no such animal! You're just making up silly words". So, being a bit of a Hermione, I went to the library..... . I had the same teacher for biology over the next 3 years and as a giant FU, I based my entire year 12 research project on a completely ficticious animal; the Western coasal scorpion. I passed.

I was a US university professor teaching adults but if a student could prove me wrong I was all for it. None of us are infallible including people that attended an Ivy League university for eight years, just because I defended my dissertation successfully doesn't make me God. Internet was just starting to be a thing when I retired and smartphones (and Wi-Fi) did not exist yet so it was a bit harder for a student to immediately prove a professor (or teacher) wrong. Now I know of K-12 schools that have campus-wide Wi-Fi, buy each student a laptop and expect them to bring the laptops to class every day. At the university level this isn't necessary because (at least the one I taught at) there are enough computers in the computer labs to allow students to do research and type up assignments without owning a computer or bringing it to campus.

Assuming you were a minor at the time you and your sister should have been in foster care or with a relative that could afford to raise you. I am sorry you had such a shitty childhood. It is not the responsibility of a minor child to support his family. I hope you have managed to overcome this, get a HS diploma or GED and go to college. Also, why did it have to be a novel (I know that would be a question for your teacher rather than for you)? There is more benefit to reading books on history, medicine, computer programming, world events or biographies/autobiographies than fictional novels. If someone has the time and inclination to read a novel or two, that is fine but as a retired accounting and taxation professor I don't see the educational benefit to assigning novels to students except maybe in an English writing course.

Someone got up, looked it up and told us all. They were sent to the office. No we are only about 10 minutes into class at this point. the sub then started talking down to some of the students and then sent one of them out after they snapped back at him. One of the cheerleaders got fed up and started to walk out. HE thretened to suspend her. At that point half the class was pissed so we all got up and wallked out. He yelled at us to go to the office and we did.

Your class should be proud to have stood up for yourselves like that.

Right! That teacher effectively punished her for wanting to participate. Granted, screaming it is a bit much. I'd ask her to tone it down some, but by all means come on up and solve the problem. No need for a punishment. Edit: Also it's entirely possible the teacher was exaggerating on how loud the student actually was. If she did it like the movie scene, saying it loudly but not yelling then I wouldn't have an issue. The only problem is if she actually screamed it because then it's more than my own classroom being distracted. Plus all the neighboring classrooms probably got more distracted than my own since they don't have the context and probably didn't hear exactly what she said. They just heard someone yelling.

In fairness to 6:47, that was something we did at my school, as "Male" was blocked, but mail wasn't, so we'd purposely misspell to avoid the trigger phrases (before the school wised up and banned sites instead of keywords), and it would auto generate notices to the teacher whenever a someone in class triggered it, complete with an option to print a detention slip. So that could just be an automatically generate notice of the term "sexual organs" being triggered. Probably still fake, but not impossible.

I immediately lost respect for any teacher who couldn’t admit they made a mistake. One of my favorite teachers in high school was an English teacher who would give you bonus points on your next quiz/test for any grammar or punctuation mistake you found in her materials, or in any published book, magazine, newspaper, etc. You just had to bring it to her and get her to confirm the mistake and you’d get a bonus point to add to your next quiz/test for each one you brought in, and there was no limit to how many you could bring in. Although you could only use up to 10 per quiz/test.

The kilometer/mile argument at 13:30 is... disturbing. It's a power struggle, instead of education. Teachers like that don't want to teach, they want to feel power over those they percieve as weaker than them. I'm not a teacher but I'm an online tutor for highschool science and if I'm ever wrong, or I misremember something, or someone else said something different, I encourage my students to call me out on it. Then we'll fact check it together. Maybe I misremembered, maybe I simply mispoke or maybe two very similar things are different enough to cause confusion. Science, and teaching in general, is fun like that... Environments like the one in that post actively discourage learning. To an insane degree.

Not the same thing, but loosely related. My brother taught high school math and had a great story from his own life that he could use to emphasize the importance of units. When he was 20 he got caught by a park ranger having a beer. One of the consequences was that he had to do 20 hours of community service. A couple years later, a bouncer didn't believe his ID was him and wanted to confiscate it, so he called the cops to get it back. The cop asked a few questions, confirmed it was him, and then arrested my brother. Apparently when he did his community service in the county where he lived, they wrote down that he did 2.5 days of community service rather than 20 hours. Somewhere in the transfer of the information from 1 county to the other, the 2.5 days had turned into 2.5 hours, so there was a warrant out for him because they didn't think he'd completed the community service. He ended up spending around 26 hours in jail (including getting transferred over to the other county) before he eventually got bailed out, and then had to spend time in court to get things sorted out. Note: I'm not sure if he ever actually used the example in class because talking about getting arrested to your students is probably not the best thing.

The other time was in my last year of high school and we kept getting replacement teachers for Science class since our main teacher was of on maternity leave.

Yep. I got in trouble once in freshman year because some kid cornered me while I was sitting down at the lunch table, punching me in the face, so I pushed him off of me, punched him back a few times and threw him through a condiment cart. By the way, I was _fucking blind_ through all this, since him punching me in the face knocked off my glasses. I got in trouble because when the school cop showed up I didn't stop immediately and continued holding a defensive stance (fists up in front of me) until someone handed me my glasses, even though _I couldn't see shit and I couldn't hear the cop because the whole lunch room was screaming at this point._ I am _extremely_ nearsighted _and completely blind in one eye._ Without my glasses I can only see clearly about 10 inches in front of my face, and it's especially bad when I have a bunch of people moving around me and screaming. So, naturally, the other kid got a week's suspension, I got 20 days and they tried to send me to juvie. Why? Because I defended myself from an unprovoked attack. So nevermind that I did the only thing I really could do (put the other kid on _his_ back foot to get him off of me), nevermind that I only fought back after putting up with him throwing several bottles at me, the last of which was full with the cap off, and even him punching me in the head _repeatedly_ while I was sitting down and cornered with _zero_ indication he was going to stop before fighting back, nevermind that I was _a year younger than everyone in my class and so was smaller than most other kids my grade because I skipped a grade (AND he was a fucking sophomore, to boot),_ and _never fucking mind_ that I was functionally _blind_ and swinging back at _blurs of color,_ clearly I was the _real_ threat in this situation. I'm fucking 30 and this shit still makes me fucking _furious._ Honestly, the worst part was that after this I got a reputation as a fighter. Apparently, the way I threw the other kid into the condiment cart was entertaining, flashy, and impressive-looking to everyone watching. I have no fucking clue, I just knew there was an obstacle that I could throw him into and I was hoping it would cause him to fall over so I could either get away or pin him down, and that afterwards there was a lot of red and yellow all over the ground as well as the angry blob running at me. On one hand, this _did_ make most other kids stop fucking with me. But on the other hand, it also meant that some of the more insecure kids who thought they had something to prove started trying to pick fights with me and some of the teachers started being harsh on me because apparently they thought I had violent tendencies, now. I still remember the first time afterward that a teacher stood up for me another time when I got attacked _two years later_ and _to this day_ it still makes me emotional. The other kid was walking behind me in the hall kicking me as we walked (he didn't like that I was talking to a girl while walking that he liked that I had been friends with for _many_ years) and when I just ignored him he lost his temper, yanked me back by the handle on my _80 pound backpack_ (I fucking weighed it, that semester was brutal), and I tried to get up and swing back but I was effectively a turtle because of the weight strapped to my then-130 lb frame, and so the best I could do was just try to protect my face from him kicking and punching me. The teacher actually fucking witnessed the whole thing and the next thing I know the other kid is sliding and tumbling across the floor. The teacher had tried to shout the kid down, but the kid either didn't hear him or didn't listen, so the teacher grabbed him by his collar and belt and just flung him down the hallway like an absolute goddamned legend. I still remember after another teacher showed up and hauled the other kid to the principal's office, he told me he saw the whole thing and asked why he attacked me. I told him that I had no clue and that I wasn't even sure what his name was (which was true, I didn't find out who he was or why he did it until _weeks_ later). I asked him if I needed to go to the principal's office, too and if I could ask my homeroom teacher to collect my classwork. He looked at me confused and asked if I was hurt. I told him I wasn't, but that I was fully expecting to get suspended _again_ for being attacked at school (by now this would have been the 5th or 6th time that would have happened). I still remember the look of realization on his face. It was obvious that I had a reputation amongst the teachers. At this time, I did not have any of this guy's classes, but he still had obviously heard of my reputation for "violent behavior" and just paused for a moment. He told me that nobody deserves to be punished for fighting back against some punk who sucker punches them for no reason. This always stood out to me, because in this case, _I didn't and couldn't fight back,_ so he was obviously not only talking about what had just happened. That might not seem like much, but when you go through highschool with the teachers treating you like a dangerous, ticking time-bomb and looking for any and all excuses to punish you _severely_ for all real and imagined infractions, this kind of sentiment means _everything._ Took his AP History class the next year. Probably my best and favorite teacher in all of highschool. Two others might _tie_ him for the position, but none take it from him.

In my high school we had a teacher that CHOSE to teach at our high school because of something work related to her husband, and she filled in an AP or dual college course to students. During the summer she would teach at a local college (IDK if it was community or not) but we were constantly and explicitly told that she does not liked to be called Ms. or Mrs. it always had to be doctor or professor. Even the teachers. And if you slipped she would rage for hours and ruin the rest of her class periods with punishment work. If you personally messed up several times, she would write you up. The Principle and VP genuinely thought she was ridiculous, but she would pursue the issue until some form of "punishment" given. Most of the time detention was given, you could show up after school or serve it out during the last hour of school which was a free/study period for all students and you were not assigned to any class room. If you showed up at the last second of last period they would write off your time served, or you had the option to leave detention early as soon as she left the building. Most of the time they wouldn't even have it on your record either.

That only ended in 1941 with the German invasion of Russia. That doesn't justify anything your teacher did, but it is interesting how close it came to being true. That said, it's also worth noting that the Soviets and Nazis hated each other over ideology, and the pact is seen as doomed from the start by many scholars with some indication that Germany always intended to betray Russia as soon as it could confine the confrontation to a single front.

Since you had trouble with algebra I (admittedly, not an easy subject) I can't even imagine what trouble you had in higher subjects including algebra II, geometry, trigonometry and calculus.

I do remember one of the elementary schools I went to having a two way intercom system in the classrooms. So the teacher was able to send a student to the office and then get on the intercom to alert the office the student was enroute and the reason why. It also worked the other way. The office can call a specific classroom and teacher without disrupting the rest of the school. It was kind of neat, and I never saw anything like that at any other school I went to ever again.

[@duralumin594]

My school had that. A phone handset by each classroom door that called the office directly when it was picked up.

[@mharris5047]

Many schools have phones run into each classroom and the administrative office, the teacher can call down to the office from his/her desk rather than screaming what should be kept quiet into a centrally located intercom microphone. When I was in school there wasn't an intercom and there weren't phones run to the classrooms, we had one pay phone and there were only 2-3 phone lines run to the administrative office. Later the local junior high school and one elementary school in the HS district I attended each had an intercom system installed but no phones to each classroom (they were built in the late 60's after I had long ago graduated). The HS didn't have an intercom or classroom phones until a new building was built and the HS moved into it -- less than 15 years ago! One elementary school built in the 2000's does have classroom phones. The pre-WWII elementary schools in the district don't have intercoms or classroom phones to this day (one of these schools is the administration office today and no students attend classes there anymore but the other is still in use for K-2 classes). I assume the teachers in the remaining pre-WWII elementary school that still has students in it carry cell phones but before about 2005 that probably wasn't the case.

[@Merennulli]

I really hate the "respect mah authoritay!" focus of teachers like the kilometer loon. Keeping order in the class can be important - I know many teachers who managed disorder better than most teachers manage order, but order is generally more productive - but the students will have zero respect for a teacher who disrespects their students like that one did. If you think you're right and dismiss the students interjection once, that's just a normal human mistake. If you get interrupted again, though, you should have the wherewithal to show the student what you're basing it on and give the student an appropriate alternative to disrupting the class. And, no, "sit down and accept whatever I say" is never an option. The simplest way to handle that is to tell your students to write down whatever they think you got wrong and discuss it after class with the promise that you'll correct it the next class period. I get that not everyone can handle that, but managing a class and earning (not demanding) the respect of your students each day is fundamental to being a teacher. I have complicated feelings when it comes to teachers. I enjoyed being an adjunct professor and a trainer when my career took me briefly down those paths, and I have friends who are teachers and had a good rapport with several teachers over the years so I know the good side of teaching and what it takes. But I also have seen everything from just bad teaching like this to physical and psychological abuse that I'm still dealing with scars from nearly 40 years later. We need to treat teachers like we treat engineers. Pay them what they're worth but also certify and verify their work regularly, not just rely on what have become nearly meaningless standardized test scores that are now essentially little more than a peeing contest with other countries that show how well students were prepared for that specific test rather than a real metric for education outcomes. I watch these videos because you add context like some of my best teachers did. I haven't been in the public school system since the 90s, so I'm hopeful my above impression is now outdated, but I know I heard complaints of it from teachers as recently as 10 years ago.

[@Merennulli]

Regarding going to the principal's office - I wasn't the one being sent for behavior issues, but in high school the teachers always paged the office with a button on the wall and told why they were sending someone. They were very controlling of students in the hallways during class, so unless it was a bathroom pass, it got reported to the office. I got paged ahead for taking paperwork to the office or carrying things to the office for a teacher. I've also seen a paper form sent to the office with students so that would be my assumption for how it's handled without an intercom system.

I did have a teacher like that in 7th grade.

She'd constantly forbid people from questioning her, she was one of these petty teachers who didn't want the right answer, but THEIR answer. She was the kinda teacher who just demanded that she was right by authority. So one day shortly before the summer vacations when she made a mistake and I corrected her she told me that I was being disrespectful to her because she was the teacher and she ought to teach us and not the other way arround. So I said "Respect is earned, not owed and you certainly haven't so far". She didn't give me detention but took me outside the room to reprimand me. I didn't have her for a few years after that, but during my 10th grade I had her again in a different subject and she was an amazing teacher. She even took me aside once and told me I was right back then. And that's one of my favorite stories from school because I like to imagine that telling her off to her face made her think and see that she had been wrong. I know it was probably just that she had gained more experience by then, since we WERE the first proper class she taught, but I still like to imagine so anyway.

I had a teacher in a school for autism who was pregnant and ornery. She had a temper. Its hard to paint a background story for you in so little words of how despicable she was, and it sounds like the perfect story for a little kid. She was educating in a bad mood, with the goal of teaching trust within someone of higher achievement than yourself (your teacher). But this was on the level to trust them no matter what. The example was 2+2=5. A classmate next to me rolled his eyes in annoyance. What kept her from being caught was the Florida law of forbidding recording in class. Her assistant and teacher friend never said a word during her within the two years, and she did not stop getting angry and making kids feel guilty for poor reasons. Regardless it was over the top discipline. So I had an absolute stressful part of my personal life outside of school, and school didn't help it either with limited restrooms sharing toilets with ppl that made a mess...

I only got detention a couple of times in school. The dumbest being getting detention for chewing gum in class. The high school I went to had a demerit system for small infractions. If you got enough demerits you got detention. The craziest way I saw someone get detention was throwing a shoe at the teacher. Hit the teacher in the back of the head.

i have had two teachers who were -terrible- and a 3rd who was just mildly annoying in highschool. they each wrote people up for stupid reasons. the first was in my freshmen year, geography class: this woman was admittedly pregnant at the start of the year. decided that she didnt actually need to teach because of it and instead just handed out worksheets with no further instructions and shopped online for shoes and stuff. 6 months into school we had midterms and the majority of the class failed because she hadnt taught us anything or even said a word to us since day one barring "quiet down" etc. finally another student got tired of this and yelled at her for just giving us worksheets and not actually teaching us. teacher wrote student up after yelling at her and saying some rather... racist things. student left classroom, went to the dean, meanwhile the teacher began to work frantically at her computer all of a sudden. about 15 minutes later academic dean came by, had her log off the computer, pack her things and was escorted off the premises. the next day the dean had to explain to all of us (including several students who were honors/4.0+ gpa students) that the teacher had locked our grades in for the year and due to how the system worked (it was something new that had been implemented that year) even the dean didnt have the authority to overturn it, only the grading teacher could and only if they logged in with their password. this teacher had set all of her students grades to 0 for the year, for all of her students, not just my class. the 2nd crappy teacher i had has a bit of a shorter explanation: school district had a class for ESL and those who failed the writing portion of the state standardized tests. our main teacher for the class had to leave on short notice and so had to get a sub she didnt fully know and gave the usual spiel of respecting them etc. class size: 5. walk in 1st period and sub is cranky micromanager who believes all the students (who were marked as special ed admittedly) were dumb. towards the mid point of the class one of the ESL students asked her what a word meant and she blew up on them. this of course ticked me off because she had been mildly bullying everyone else after she realized she couldnt bully me into submission to her. so i turned to her and gave her the smoking she deserved (i was in ROTC at the time, so think drill sergeant voice). thing was: principals office was not... 40 feet down the hall. they came to check who was making so much noise. saw one of the girls crying, saw me drill sergeant voicing the teacher, knew that i didnt get angry often/easily and stayed out of trouble and had the local campus police officer with them, decided to sit on the sidelines until i finished (i still got iss because of it for obvious reasons) but once they heard what had happened they had the district fire her. oh also she had apparently pre-written up each of the students in the classes ahead with made up bullshit reasons before class had started... i think... she got blacklisted from teaching/subbing again across the state, possibly federally. finally the not as crappy, but annoying: my english 3/spanish 1 teacher (for 2 years running) was shall we say: a bit anal. she insisted everything written in cursive in blue/black ink pen with an extra precise spacing that shed dock points off of it wasnt neat tidy and spaced correctly (and the only reason she didnt do that for me as *often* was because i had dysgraphia), whod get mildly pissy if someone had a coughing fit while she was trying to teach. annoying but at least not bad like the above 2... still i think she wrote up at least 2 students for smacking their gum too hard in the 2 years i was in her classes.

[@lampionmancz]

13:40 For this the teacher should literally be fired or at least harshly punished. Like wtf? She knows she's wrong yet continues to say crap and when a student corrects her she gives him a punishment like that's not a show of disrespect that's a show of a huge ego, her ego.

One of my paper airplanes won me a $15,000 scholarship for college. There was a contest held in a football stadium where if your paper airplane lands in a circle on the field you won the prize indicated. There were also prizes such as free apartment rentals in your college town, and a couple of cars on the field as well. A girlfriend of mine won a brand new car when her airplane went in through the half opened sunroof.

As a disruptive kid, I often had my desk put out in the hall. The janitor named Mr. Kettle would sweep past and stop to tell me some funny jokes. He was a damn fine fella. Liked that guy far more than any teacher in that school, with the exception of Mrs. Durnford. She was a sweet old lady. Btw, if you've never known of anyone being sent to the principles office, you must never have heard of the strap. I was well acquainted with that thing. But as I said, I was disruptive and that was not so well tolerated in small town 1970's public schools.

Man, that teacher with his long ass message to the parent at 13:30. What the hell are you on bro ?? Not only he's "teaching" something wrong to his students, but he's being petty and unprofessional, a freaking disgrace to the profession. I don't like to speak ill of people I don't know, but if this is a real thing, I hope this guy is no longer a teacher. Anyway, teaching has evolved since 1994, and I guess there are teachers like this now. But goodness, teaching is not about "This is what's right and everyone should listen", it's about transmitting knowledge to the next generation in a comprehensive and, when possible, a fun and interesting way. I haven't been a teacher for long so maybe I'm wrong, but that's how I see it.

The mile vs kilometer reminds me--I had to retake a basic physics class in college near the end of my engineering degree because of a credit issue. I took it at a local community college, and there was one test question where are the supposed correct answer was blatantly wrong and an obvious and typical pitfall for people new to physics. I brought it up with the teacher one on one and explained it how I thought was clear, but they totally blew me off and told me I was wrong. Then some other random student overheard and decided it was their duty to come and tell me off because I suggested the teacher might not be right? I didn't even raise my voice or anything, like what the heck? If anyone is curious, the question was getting static and kinetic friction mixed up. A good example I'll leave here is--think about when you have a car driving on the road, what kind of friction do you have between a car tire and the road, assuming the car is not skidding?

Yeah, that's the problem with a lot of those types of words and phrases.
