"If dolphins are so smart, why do they live in igloos?"

I had a teacher who told our class that permafrost was the layer of the ground that melts when it warms up.

In 2nd grade my teacher tell me Cinco de Mayo was Mexican Independence Day. For the record, I'm Mexican. When I corrected her that it was actually about the battle of Puebla she told me I was wrong. I called my Grandma in tears who assured me I was right. Same teacher told my brother mango is not a fruit.

Our AP European History teacher tried to teach us the Da Vinci Code in class...as FACT. She also was hell-bent on proving that Shakespeare didn't write Shakespeare's plays. She also did not believe in airplanes. When I looked up her salary later (Texas Tribune, ftw), I was PISSED that it was higher than many other…

She was just stupid. I'm a retired teacher. Some are stupid, just like in any profession.

I got in an argument with a teacher about the capital of Illinois. They said Chicago, I said Springfield. We lived in Illinois.

A trio of Supernatural gifs to commiserate with you:

Oh, dumb teachers. I had a professor tell a class that HIV was transmitted through saliva. In high school, the AP Lit teacher would have students choose a word from whatever we were reading and submit it as a vocab word for the class... my friend used the completely made-up word "rhymenheimer" and she went along like…

One teacher of mine once insisted that England was the only country in the world with roundabouts. I knew this to be wrong because I had just got back from France, but the teacher claimed this stupid fact in an assembly and I was too meek to contradict her. There were hundreds of kids and a few dozen teachers there…

In the 5th grade we had to name all seven continents on a map. My teacher marked me down for naming Australia instead of Greenland. When I asked for all the points because Australia is a continent and Greenland isn't a continent, she rolled her eyes at me and wrote a 10 on my paper, but I know she didn't correct it in…

I work as a special ed teaching aide in an elementary school. We have one grade level where the teachers are atrocious. They're giving a social studies test asking what major world event happened 75 years ago. They mean WWI, which was a hundred years ago. Same woman spelled the president's name "O'Bama" DEAD SERIOUS.

Everyone involved in this whole situation is bad and they should feel bad.

Reminds me of the religion teacher who laughed hysterically and said "What?! Kaboom!" when I used the term "nuclear family" instead of her version, "nucleus family." Nuclear is the adjective form of nucleus and adjectives modify nouns, you harpy.

I had a teacher try to convince us that Guy Fawkes started the Great Fire of London and when I told her she was definitely wrong she panicked and gave me detention for questioning her.

My fourth grade teacher insisted I was pronouncing tortilla wrong. She insisted that the tilla should be pronounced the same as in flotilla. She did this to a child whose last name is the Mexican equivalent of Smith.

Haha! A roommate I had in college and for my first year out of college was a huge pathological liar. It became too much and I had to end the friendship and move out, but here were some of my favorites from her:

I had a teacher explain an "easy way to remember the difference between fiction and non-fiction":

I once had a teacher correct me about which part of the state my previous town was located. In retrospect I should have complained since he frequently used racial slurs and asked me to quit a club upon learning my father's religion (starts with an M).

No joke: just within the last couple months I had a university professor say that "the Baby Boomers' children are all in school now". Uh, no, that'd be the Boomers' grandchildren.

I think this is great for the Browns. The fanbase, and the whole city really, should be fired up.
