    >does not consider my argument and evidence from all the prescribed textbooks
    >he just said, "No, you're wrong! Go sit back down"

    Do you even realize how much you were idiotic in that instance?
    Allow me to explain it to you:

    >Professor talking about how the Mongol Empire was the largest, and therefor most impressive empire of all time.

    Your professors argument was that the Empire was most impressive because its was the largest.

    Now read your contention to it:

    >Point out riding horses over Siberia isn't really an impressive feat, so much as it is taking up space.

    How the heck is riding horses in Siberia, Assyria, Mars or wherever you want even relevant to the large size of the Empire that qualified it as most impressive?

    >so much as it is taking up space.

    In contrast to what?

    The remainder of your talk is just a derp contest between you and your professor.

    >but moving west with nothing in your way until you hit Kiev really isn't that amazing.

    Well the Mongols didn't walk over Siberia, if that's what you're suggesting. Regardless, the Mongols had little to no difficulty going west while in Russia, with the exception of the Khwarazm empire.

    what i answered was that they contain past data from one or more databases.
    he claims that they contain archived data.

    textbooks all say pretty much rephrase my definition + say they are constantly being updated with business' operational data. if they are constantly being updated, how could it possibly be considered archived data?

    His wife was the biology teacher. She told us about holes in evolution, but never talked about intelligent design. She made us watch the 2001 film Evolution.

    When I was a senior in high school I took a "crime in America" electives class because my parents insisted that having a period off would be nothing but trouble.

    So I attend this class which is filled with stoners. As an example of how bad this class was, the teacher spent the first 6 weeks in the class trying to teach about the first 10 amendments. 6 weeks for 10 amendments that you should already know.

    After that we move on to drug laws, and she starts this out by giving a lecture on marijuana and its capabilities to kill brain cells, cause lung cancer, make you 'stupid.'

    I asked her, word for word, "do you have any studies that substantiate your claims?" and she sends me to the principals office for 'trying to make her look stupid.'

    Later on she says that "I think these troubles in the middle east could be solved with one well placed nuke," (this is texas) I again say word for word 'Aren't you being racist by advocating the extermination of a certain people because of the actions of a few extremists?' She took me out in the hall and yelled at me that accusing something of racism isn't something that you should just throw around.

    Later still she tried to make an example of me for not standing up during the pledge of allegiance. Not because I was trying to make some naive political statement, but because I was reading and didn't want to be bothered to stand just for the pledge. I said that participation in the pledge was optional, and that I didn't want to participate.

    She apparently thought otherwise, but the principal sided with me on this issue and I was able to sit, which all the stoners thought was hilarious and so by the end of the year, only like 5 people in the class of 50 were standing for the pledge.

    I hated that teacher, I have some more stories too, but these are the ones that immediately come to mind. I still got the highest grade in the class.

    I took a philo 101 course.

    This was the worse mistake I could imagine. I thought I ended up with a fuck awesome professor. O I was fucking wrong.

    The first three weeks of class he went over ancient philo. Saying they weren't real philosophers. Then we get to class and he was all excited. I wondered wtf was going on. That is when he started in lecture.

    He claimed that St. Augustine was the FIRST REAL PHILOSOPHER and no one before him had any grasp on what philosophy actually was. After about 20 minutes I got up told him I would no longer be attending a class that is being taught by such a moron.

    I later find out he got his philosophy degree from a fucking catholic college in Tennessee.

    It's actually pathetic how much people base their self esteem on some shitty ass education. Be them students or professors.

    In my diffy-q class, professor has function y(x)=stuff involving x... anyway, he sets up a dif. eq. and it looks something like dylny and the stupid fuck starts trying to plug x into it (well, the function, you know what I mean) I don't say anything, just seeing how long it takes him to realize it... 30 minutes go by, and I finally have had enough and I'm just like "go back to the second step, keep it in terms of y, THEN integrate, now plug in f(x) for y"

    another fun part of the story is that this is practically a kindergarten class and he gives bonus points when people point out a mistake, when he started to record my bonus points, I said (loud enough for the entire class to hear) "I don't care about the points, I just want you to teach the damn class"

    PROTIP:

    Local Cluster is on the outer edge of the milky way.
    We're a mere 1000 light years from the outermost fringe where there is absolutely NOTHING.

    This gives us a good position to "see" the milky way around us and make an educated guess about the size, shape, and prevalent colors of the milky way galaxy.

Only because I know that buttmad American's like yourself get so annoyed when you're reminded that you don't know how to properly abbreviate a word. How's the 'mathematic' going across the pond?

    What get's me though is how reluctant teachers are to stray away from the curriculum. If there's anything anyone asks which is slightly above the level you're learning at, then it's a no-go area.

    When I was in high school I took a "computer technology" class which was pretty stupid but I didn't particularly mind except for one thing. As part of "teaching binary," he decided to teach how characters are encoded into binary. The method he taught us wasn't ASCII. It was EBCDIC, a method which was invented for IBM mainframes and has been pretty much obsolete ever since those days. I told him several times that this was wrong, but he didn't really listen.

    Also, my biology teacher explicitly refused to teach evolution, although he told us to read the section of the book on it since we'd be tested on it.

    You guys need to stop thinking like biologists and accept that there are such a wide range of bodies orbiting stars that you will never come up with a classification system that fits them all. It's even more fruitless than biological classification because there are no genetics to trace; it's just random physical phenomena causing matter to clump together.

    Just catalog the known bodies' physical characteristics and then you can list them any way you want, by temperature or composition or musical taste or whatever.

    Even if you're right, the teacher should have explained the difference instead of kicking him out of class

    So they can avoid the lesson plan and confuse the point of the discussion?

    Should we also make them discuss jesus and other imaginary things during history time?

    Where does it stop when you let kids define the axioms?

    It's first grade bro, they teacher was more concerned about my disruptive behavior than my discussion of things unrelated to the lesson at hand.

    Get out, you don't do naturals in first grade.

    It doesn't matter. Her statement that you can't subtract a larger number from a smaller one was false.

    When public education already does such a shitty job of teaching math and science, it'd be nice if they taught as few false things as possible.

    In defense of the smug bastard, I assumed we were talking about real numbers instead of naturals. The fault was mine due to my childish ignorance of these distinctions

    And as such, the lesson of the day, is one can learn more without bias than they can with it.

    Mine too. I'd never done anything with computer science before and that was still the easiest A+ of my life. Using programs made for elementary students helps though.

    When I was a kid I memorized things to heart and hated being wrong. I often thought of things outside the curriculum and generally the response was a bald-faced lie. I would desperately try to understand why something wasn't the case and then when I couldn't I felt stupid and memorized things like that to absolute heart. Once I was proven right in the end in later grades I had a lot of difficulty reconciling the ideas, and rejected them on principle. It was like some idea that I had blocked out to avoid being wrong. Selfishly basing my opinion just on that, lying to kids doesn't seem to be the best approach.

    Whether or not it was in the curriculum doesn't mean she should just be lying. At worst she should have told him that was wrong in class and explained that he was right privately, but it wasn't going to be covered in class that year. Also your holding a one year old accountable for asking a question ignorant to the content of the lesson. You. Retard.

    tl;dr: public school system punishing a child for being right is retarded. you're similarly retarded if you don't believe that.
