Current Events > Anyone ever have teachers that tried to get you to believe dumb things?

(+) Yeah! (+)

My 9th grade world geography teacher tried to tell us that a normal year has 366 days and a leap year has 365 days. She said it was called a leap year because you're "leaping past the last day."

We tried showing her a calendar with numbered days on it, but she said the calendar was wrong.

A few. Nothing springs to mind right away but I did have a teacher who was hardcore conservative and went a whole period once telling us why it was the correct choice. This was like 2002 so it kinda made sense and I was one of those kids who was republican cause his parents were so I agreed.

Looking back most his arguments didn't make sense or wouldn't in the next 5/6 years.

I had a math teacher that insisted 2+2 and 2x2 both equaled 4.

I had a few pathological liar teachers, the worst was my 6th grader history teacher. Tried to tell us all kinds of bullshit. He said he bought a Corvette when in college that he had to be careful where he parked because of the wing doors.

Had a science teacher try to tell us your hair and finger nails only grow while sleeping.
