the only thing i really have to say is that my science teacher THIS YEAR is stupid. she's an evolutionist, as science teachers usually are.

In grade 10, my history teacher (I think it was her first year teaching and she was awful) was pretty dumb. I remember she was once teaching us from the textbook about the Kristallnacht and at one point the textbook stated that the SA, the Gestapo and the SS were all the same thing. I pointed out how horribly incorrect this was (it is akin to saying the FBI, the CIA and the Army Rangers are all the same thing), and the teacher's response was "it is in the textbook so it must be true". The next year, there was a big scandal about how most of the new textbooks we had received the previous year had glaring errors in them (one of the news reports even showed us that we could erase the text with regular erasers, which we didn't know! Thanks news media!).

In grade 11 English teacher (who was just plain stupid) insisted that the world "hyperbole" was pronounced "hyper bowl" and not "hyperb-ohlee". We got in a big argument about it in front of class in which she pretty much insisted she was right because she was the teacher which made her smarter than me. She would also make spelling mistakes pretty much every time she wrote anything on the chalkboard. She would make five spelling mistakes in a 12 word sentence, and only fix three even after proof reading it (which she did before presenting it to the class). She was a nice lady, but she wasn't fit to teach people anything.

In grade 12 Philosophy, I was discussing post-WW2 Stalinist communism with my friend, who was sitting next to me. All of a sudden, my philosophy teacher interjected with "neither one of you are qualified to be talking about that" or something similar and warned us that if we didn't stop, we'd be asked to leave. She wasn't offended or anything, she just genuinely thought that we had no business haven't an intelligent discussion about the subject because we were unqualified. I wanted to slap her in her old wrinkly face.

edit: I took an extra grade 12 year to get more credits, and my grade 12 English teacher refused to give me a recommendation to get into the advanced writing class (you needed a recommendation if you mark was below 80). I still got in (somehow) and got an 80 in that, and I wanted to go back and punch that asshole in the face with my report card wrapped around my hand. I hated that asshole. He was a creepy pedo bastard.

She doesn't need evidence to support her claims any more than you do. She's only a science teacher; smarter people than her have figured it out, and it is safe to assume that what they're saying is probably correct for the most part.
The thing is, what she's teaching you is only a model. It's a mostly accurate model, and it's relatively easy to grasp. Real quantum physics isn't. But the point is that the model is valid and trying to switch to a more complex model halfway through is not going to help at all and it will confuse you. If you're really that interested, a primary school science teacher or whatever most likely isn't the right person to ask.
If the kid is that smart he could just ask her for a referral to a decent book on the matter or something. He'd probably get it because it means he'll shut up about it and she can get on with teaching less intelligent pupils.
Yes, that is pretty bad, and you should really talk to her about it. Maybe she doesn't know you've already done those things.

this is the worst rebuttal to a post ever, and it's even worse when you realize you're rebutting mkkmypet.

I love it when people try to seriously debate with mkkmypet. You people realize that she's also a 12 or 13 year old little girl who also believes that she possesses telekinetic powers, right?

my excuse is I remember a time when this kid kept following sredni around giggling and kicking him and then finally sredni turned around and told him "STOP IT. I HATE YOU." and the kid started to cry and ran away.

mkkmypet is the same way and you just can't resist telling her you hate her.

that being said, saying "um, the teacher can tell you you're too stupid to understand" and "it's the kid's job to do the teacher's job" is pretty stupid.

mkkmypet doesn't believe in capital letters:
Quote from: mkkmypet
i've always not used capital letters in those cases, because i think that they shouldn't be capitalized; it doesn't make sense to me.

But to stay somewhat on topic, I don't recall any especially terrible teacher for any important class, though in high school, the lady that supervised the computer lab couldn't tell the difference between Netscape and Word (seriously).

the only thing i really have to say is that my science teacher THIS YEAR is stupid. she's an evolutionist, as science teachers usually are. and i'm normally okay with that since there's really nothing i can do about it, and i'll believe what i want to believe. but the thing is, she's an evolutionist for NO REASON. she has no evidence or anything to support her claims (some of which are pretty ridiculous and not part of the theory of evolution when she says they are). and when i point it out and ask about it, she says "well that's just the way it is. you don't need to worry about it; it won't be on the test."
and that's pretty much what she says about everything. we were learning about atoms, and one kid asked about "what happens when there's more electrons than the ones that fit on the 2, 8, 18, 32 levels?" and she mentioned that it had to do with "orbitals. but don't worry about that, it's not going to be on the test. you'll learn that in high school." our class debated with her for like 10 minutes saying "at least just TRY and explain it; we WANT to know" and she just kept repeating her same thing over and over and she said "you guys would just get confused if i tried to explain it and we have to move on now."
and there's this one kid in my class who's INCREDIBLY smart with science, and he constantly asks questions that my teacher doesn't know how to respond to. she makes poor attempts at coming up with something not true, but the kid shoots down her arguments. then she just says, "well, i honestly don't know. that's a good question. i'll have to look it up." and then the next few days, the kid asks "so did you look it up yet?" and she's like, "oh, no, i forgot. i'll do that tonight." she never looks it up.
and my teacher's idea of science labs/experiments are almost ALL ones that we've done before... in first grade. we did a lab to put a gummi bear in water overnight and then write down what changed. we did that same experiment that year before. and another "lab" was where we had to cut out construction paper and arrange it to look like an atom. that's the kind of thing we all did in 1st grade. my science teacher really doesn't know how to do her job.
i hate my science class this year. >_<

I'm doing Primary Education at university (to teach Kindergarten to Grade 6) and in my Science subject, we were just recently talking about shit like this. A really large percentage of teachers teaching science do not know anything beyond the textbook basics (and often, not even that, they just read directly from the textbook). And your classes reactions were what we told never to let happen. The students don't learn anything, they learn some memorised facts but not understand the subject matter /education student rant.

Me personally, I have not had many idiot teachers when it comes to teaching but in their actual lives they fucked up (one of my primary school teachers from way back got busted for child porn and one of my highschool teachers slept with a year 12 girl just this past xmas period). Though they told stories about idiot teachers that they know; my favourite maths teacher throughout highschool (sadly hes dead now) told us that when he was in America a Geography teacher asked him if it was possible to walk from Australia to New Zealand when it was lowtide.

I have had contact with idiot teachers through prac work and the like as well. When I was 16 I did work experience at a local primary school and kept having to correct the teacher (making mistakes about the defintions of the words "breaches" and "britches", confucing the two). He got pissed off at me and sent to photocopy stuff for the rest of the time I was with his class, fun fact: that fucker is now mayor of our fair town.

umm first of all, i'm 13 and a half. i'm not in elementary school. >:| and just because i said some stupid telekinesis crap in a single topic YEARS ago, i'm not allowed to post anymore without it being brung up. it's really annoying.

and i don't think you guys understand. i've always had evolutionist science teachers SCIENCE TEACHERS WHO TEACH EVOLUTION. and i don't care about it. but my teacher now, she says things like "humans are supposedly related to primates, but the truth is, they come directly from lizards that started standing upright." she is supposed to teach evolution, but she includes so much of her stupid nonsense.
and also, my class is an honors 8th grade science class. because it's honors, it counts for high school credit as 1 year of science, and we have to take a final at the end of the year. everyone in my class is very smart and very good at science (yes, just because i'm a Christian doesn't mean i can't be good at science. Christians can use the scientific method too, derrr. i don't understand why everyone here treats me as if i'm unintelligent just because i have certain views). there's just one kid in my class who is REALLY good at science, but he asks things that the rest of the class wants to know to. there's really nobody in the class who is stupid or immature, as many kids are that are in regular classes. so when the teacher refuses to answer our questions because it "will confuse us", she doesn't realize that we're not as dumb as she thinks and we're only asking because we understand the concept already, and we want her to tell us the details and not keep going over the same basic thing over and over.
i have no idea how i'm going to get a good grade on the final. people i know in the other honors science teacher's class says they feel sorry for us. they're waaaay ahead of us, and they actually LEARN things.
she's really a terrible teacher. and if you ignore that paragraph about the evolution thing that always gets you GWers in a fuss, then you'd probably all agree instead of saying how stupid i am and how my teacher is good and how you shouldn't even read my post.
GW hates meeee waaaaaaaaaa D: :cry:

hypothesis: the word evolutionist is only used by overreactionary creationists who are unaware that the more precise term is "anyone with even an inkling of understanding towards modern science and biology" instead of some insulting belief system attribution.

experiment: check it

conclusion: I'm right.

why does everyone make a fuss over the words "evolutionist" and "evolutionism"? do you want me to say "SOMEONE WHO BELIEVES IN EVOLUTION" every single time? i only say it because it's easier. and evolutionism instead of just "evolution" is what i called it when i was little... it stuck with me. xD i didn't think it mattered. (the first time i ever heard it as being something Christians say is matt.dk's rant. i didn't know it was something anyone smart cared about.) but if you really require me to go back and edit my post so every "evolutionist" becomes "a person who believes in evolution" and so the "evolutionism" is turned into "the belief in evolution" for you to read and even respond to my post and not just those 2 words, then i will.

EDIT: dude, i only even said it once. i don't see what the difference is between the original and what i replaced it with... -_-

mkk you do know being in an honors class in that level doesn't really mean anything (I know, I was in them, it didn't make a difference at all)

where i live, it does matter. my class learns (or at least, we're supposed to be learning) about chemical formulas, radioactive decay, alternative fuel sources, etc... the normal classes are currently learning about solids, liquids, and gases.
my school district is in the top 100 in the world. my school is a really good school on the whole. this teacher is pretty much the only one i've ever had who i really didn't like and didn't learn much from.
in the honors classes this year, we are given the option to have the class count as 1 year of that subject towards our highschool graduation. and whether we want to or not, we have to take honors class finals that will count on our 2nd semester grades. >_< the 8th grade honors classes are equal to the 9th grade regular classes, which is why we get high school credit and finals.

With this information, I'd like to say as a college student taking a medical concentration, and having been in an honors class myself in school, I'd like to confirm along with Velfarre that your honors class still doesn't mean anything. At all.

exceeeeeeeeeeeept you specifically outlined the fact that the teacher was an "evolutionist" (a term that once again, means nothing to anyone) and how they weren't well educated on the subject. sounds like the teacher is a poor teacher, but anyone else writing the same story would have said, "ugh I have a teacher who doesn't know anything about evolution and thinks people evolved directly from lizards", not prefacing it with "evolutionism" (a term, that once again, applies a false classification of belief to a scientific theory that requires no belief) and evolutionists.

the fact that your biology teacher knows evolution is a real process does not subscribe your teacher to some belief system. it just means they are right.

imagine if this story was about a teacher who was an "atomist" who believed that everything was made of atoms but didn't know what a valence electron was. the first part of the story is unnecessary and attributes characteristics of faith/belief where in reality they don't exist.

also honors classes don't matter, AP ones do, unless that is what you mean.

actually while honors classes may not matter, it really means the difference between a good educations and a decent education. at least it did in my high school. so for those of you saying being in regular classes vs honors classes doesn't make a difference, you're pretty much a dumbass.

In my school it meant more homework but the exact same curriculum and teaching.  A lot of teachers taught both standard and honors versions of their classes and taught them exactly the same but added more assignments (or papers would be the same assignment but the honors class would have to write two more pages than the standard or something).
