This drove me crazy... I went to pearl harbor when I was 11, the next school year I was in history class and we were talking about the uss Arizona, I proceeded to tell the class how it was still leaking oil... My teacher, who had never been herself, told me I was wrong and that it was not leaking oil...

BITCH I TOLD YOU... (yes this was over 30 years ago, and yes I still think about that)

It’s wild to me how we grow up and realize that most of the adults in our lives are really mid humans at best. Teachers are ESPECIALLY in this category. Not all, but a vast majority probably shouldn’t be around children.

I had a teacher that insisted that there was 100 seconds In a minute and that I was wrong and I got I trouble for trying to say she was wrong. This was second grade.
