Stupid Crap Teachers Told You

[Lacadaemon]

Maybe he was a kid during WWII and got caught in a bombing raid without really knowing what was going on and the historical context.
Like my grandpa, the most racist guy I know.

No, he was too young for that. And anyway it wasn't scary warlike Imperial Japan he hated. He never mentioned the history. It was modern shiny pacifist Japan he had a hard on for.

If I had to guess, I think his family probably worked in a car factory or someshit. It is the only thing that could really explain his off the wall ideas.

Maybe he had a mail order bride from Asian and she divorced him as soon as she got her green card and took half of his stuff?

[Mollux]

Because "If a dog is blind, then it cannot see," is an if/then statement, it is a hypothesis.

Never mind that it is not testable, and is simply the definition of blindness.

[The Christian Reich]

That I should give a damn about minorites and feminists. The Founding Father's were Freemasons so they could have lied about everything. Try and find that in your text book

My AP US History teacher insists that Howard Zinn is not liberally biased, and she bases her whole lessons on him

Find a thoroughly neutral historian and I'll be impressed.

go to Switzerland, and find one of their historians. They will likely have little bias when it comes to us.

I never thought of that. Though it would be highly unlikely given the respective state of the UK v Japan at that time.

It would, however, explain a great many things.

I have thought about going to Asia to find a bride, but the potential risk far outweigh the potential reward.

really? i did not know that. i was basing my idea of my distant cousins. from my perspective they all seem to only care about being the world's bank and having the best chocolate. Cause they are always neutral, and have everyone's money. so nobody bothers them

That is true for some regions but tends to be untrue for their historians. It is more the uneducated people who are like that.

Always fresh with Celtzen Blue.

Well that isn't exactly the worse... but he did show us the Halo: Reach Reveal Trailer for some reason, there's always that.

I am glad I go to a public school where Religion is a no-no to teach. Because if I was in a Religion class, there would be daily arguments.

lol I'm from Texas and here, the schools have a bible study club.

I'm just gonna sit back and watch all the Atheists freak out at the above statement.

There's nothing wrong with a bible study club. People voluntarily choose to be part of it so there is no issue. Sorry for not freaking out on your. Now teaching the bible as a part of your science class and I'll do apeshit on you.

Question in year 8 written maths test:

How do you spell Pythagoras?

[Former Principalities]

When I was in 4th grade (A while back) it was the year 9/11 happened. Naturally as children its all we talked about. My teacher, Mrs Mcphee (I still remember her name) told us all to stop talking about the "bad things that happened on the far side of the world. It's never going to affect you, so stop."/sugarcoat much....

A couple of months later, Australia deployed troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, and its still going on today...... Whenever I think of Iraq, i think of what she said and the extent to which primary school tried to sugarcoat children's lives.

5th Grade:
The US was at war with Mexico for helping out Texas and not for territorial gain.

[Liuzzo]

You apparently know that. I know that.

Apparently, a third of Texans didn't get that memo.

I was referring to your claim that that's the belief of a third of Texans. It's a load of crap.

Let's change it to 1/3 of Texans polled http://search.aol.com/aol/search?invocationType=tb50-ff-aol-ab-en-us&query=texans+believing+dinosaurs+and+humans+walked+together Take your pick of links saying that you are wrong and he was right.

Grab a copy of the book: "lies my teacher told me" and bring it to class to read during history lecture

Excellent book. I liked the looks I got when I brought Zinn's People's History into my class. I may as well have farted in church.

I know it's a little off topic but, I have an actual vaguely Intelligent thing a teacher told me.
It was my 6th grade History teacher, and it was 9/12/01. He said "The fallout from this (The 9/11 Attack) will still be felt 10, 20 years from now, most likely even longer. In fact, most of you will be fighting in whatever war this creates."
You can't deny how right he was. (I was in the army and was about to be sent to Afghanistan)

People's History was our primary textbook in... one of the grades. Tenth, I think. It's not a great book, but then since when are textbooks ever well-written? Lies is very good, though.

[Liuzzo]

reality disagrees...

I'm from Texas, man. You can't fool me. I know the outside world still likes to think that we're a backwards bunch of rednecks that still use horses as our primary means of transportation, but believe it or not, that's not the case.

No one said that but you. And hey way to ignore the polling and article that say you're wrong. Maybe you'll like my search found above giving you multiple articles that say he's right and you're wrong.
