What's the Dumbest thing a teacher has ever said to you?

I’m curious to know since I’ve been home schooled my entire life. :joy:

But the dumbest thing my teacher has ever said to me was: You can’t wake up at 11 in the morning! Public schoolers have to get up at seven! (Well then what’s the point of being homeschooled, mom? :laughing:)

He didn’t say it, but…
My geography teacher told us that we should be able to find our way around with a map without a problem, because it’s easy and bla bla bla…
One week later he got lost in the park because he couldn’t read his map :joy:

I had a history teacher tell me, with a straight face, that Margaret Thatcher was the best thing that ever happened to the UK. He also had a picture of her up on the wall that he would kiss every now and then.

Needless to say the class ripped him apart for that one. Never been more proud of my class in high school

In Year 6 our primary school went on a healthy eating rampage and policed what food we could and couldn’t bring in. We were banned from bringing in cakes, biscuits and fruit juice for example even though the canteen provided the EXACT same thing.

Anyway, someone in our class asked why we were banned from eating certain foods but the teachers weren’t and our teacher said “I’m an adult and my body’s stopped growing so I can eat what I want”

I mean, adulthood doesn’t make you immune from health problems but ok!

My thoughts exactly

Exactly! Giving birth sounds and looks more painful than periods in general. I hated that woman because she was such a c**t! She passively aggressively body shamed me in class when talking about female body parts just because I was the first girl in my class to get my period (I was 10 years old).
