Talk about a Fascist!!!

Wow -- pretty sad indeed

thanks for sharing your detention slip. it's nice to laugh out loud at work, and have the folks in the other cubicles wondering what you're up to. i hope that your parents were proud of you for speaking up. your teacher was a clueless arrogant f*ck.

The only thing I can see as being a problem is if the teacher had a specific purpose for being wrong- like they were trying to make a point about something. If not then this is just another example of authority figures employing the, "Just shut up and do what I tell you" maneuver.

completely absurd.

How can people look at this, understand what's wrong with it and then allow this "No Child Left Behind" nonsense in schools?

Thanks for the shout out kingkongreggae. However this was not a detention slip for me. All the detention I got was well deserved I assure you.

Hurray for insubordination.

Wow, authority never ceases to amaze me.

In the fifth grade, I assured my teacher that there are no muscles in your fingers. There are tendons that go to other muscles in your hands, wrists, and forearms, but none in your fingers themselves. She assured me in no uncertain terms that I was, of course, incorrect, given the fact that I was only 11. When I brought in some medical texts from a family-friend's medical school classes to call her out, she didn't want to hear about it. Go figure.

that slip is hysterical! she obviously has no idea about critical thinking!

maybe you'll find this interesting: in the last line of my report card narrative each year i write something like: "it was wonderful learning with your daughter this year."

i have found beauty in learning from students and seeing students teaching others...as a teacher i'm just a tour guide.

KB. that is too awesome. Keep real namaste

i once told my fourth grade teacher, when she was asking the class what we wanted to be when we grew up, the i wanted to be a "retarded teacher". I, of course, meant a teacher to help the retarded and didn't realize that i had really insulted her (everyone laffed really hard on that one - that's why i remember it)

I guess some other people actually meant they wanted to be "retarded" teachers... :o)

This post gets an A+ for truthiness.

The wost part, to me, is when the teacher realizes she is, in fact, wrong, and still busts on the kid for calling her out, and then has the audacity to try to silence the kid through the parents. Yikes!

Sorry, the teacher is clearly a He. Oops.

whoa, talk about a power trip.
