Bad teacher. No donut.

Hmmm, let me see here....

"Dear Mr. Hilliker, correcting you on a blatant and indisputable factual error -- an error which you openly admit -- is respect for knowledge, not disrespect for authority.  Feel free to hold and attend your detention, but don't expect to see my [$CHILD] there atoning for your ignorance of basic units."

Yeah, I think that'd about cover it.

Whose kid was Alex?

[unixronin.livejournal.com]

Not a clue...... thank taarna for the pointer.

Hmmmm...

[dakiwiboid.livejournal.com]

That was 12 years ago. I wonder what would happen now.

Now the kid would probably be required to undergo psychiatric evaluation.

That's simply incredible. I know some teachers are arrogant but this takes the cake. Where did this come from?

[unixronin.livejournal.com]

Judging by greyman's comment, I'd guess it originates from thedailywtf. But I got the link from taarna in her Bitmines instantiation.

it originates from here:

I'm going to guess that you read thedailywtf.com...

[unixronin.livejournal.com]

Nope, but I now infer taarna does. :)

"In the future, Alex would be better off simply accepting my teachings without resistance"

It's this sentence that really bugs me. The rest of it is probably just the teacher needing to throw some weight around. I can't belive that any principal or school administration would let this jackass keep teaching. Now, I know that it was a dozen years ago, but still!

Same thought here. "Yes, I was wrong, but how dare you point out my error, I'm busy filling this class's heads with nonsense and factual errors!"

Or, why Alex's friend Johnny can't do math: Because Johnny's teacher can't, either.

And people wonder why children hate school.
Idiot.

[ehintz.livejournal.com]

Heh. I'd so rip that teacher a new one.

Dear Mr. Hilliker,

Let's get something straight here - YOU were incorrect. While I will have a discussion with Alex on the folly of arguing with the obstinant and self-righteous, and on the approach he took with disabusing the rest of the class of the notion that you are, in fact, qualified to teach them anything - he will NOT be attending your detention.

Please feel free to see your principal with regard to this matter - as I'm sure he'll be hearing from the school board once I alert the media and the board of your inappropriate actions in this matter.

You had best prepare yourself for the volley of jokes at your expense once it becomes known that you are punishing a child for being correct about your own ineptitude.

Have a nice day.

That works too. :)

When I was in second grade, my mother got called up to the school because I called my teacher a moron. My mother looked at the schoolwork I'd been doing - where the teacher had crossed out "went" in the sentence "He went through the door" and replaced it with "wented". My mother just raised her eyebrow and said "But obviously $TEACHER is a moron. girl_clone is right!"

That teacher hated me for the rest of my time in primary school. But it was worth it ;)
