don't electrons travel in the same direction as arrow points?????? that's what my physics teacher said?

Hi, I can't be exactly sure, but I believe your physics teacher may have been inferring that the direction the diode is pointing correlates to the conventional electric current (electricians practice under the impression that electricity flows positive to negative as a result of Ben Franklin's discoveries). Physicists know that current is in the direction of electron flow, which is opposite the direction from where the diode is pointing.

The "conventional current" flows from positive to negative, towards where the arrow points of a diode. Electrons, flow from negative (cathod) to positive (anode)
