Yesterday my teacher had a basic pre-test in science to see how we could use process of elimination for multiple choice, blah dee blah, blah blah, blah. Anyway, one of the questions was why ostriches have such long necks, and one answer was "To stick their heads in the sand." It was a joke, but after grading he made us stay after class and individually yelled at each of the twelve people who put down that answer.
Dumbest Things Heard In School

"Whats a Raven?"
"girls like its when I sarcasms" (This guy has English as a first language and hardly understands how to speak, this is a very common thing to hear while eavesdropping)
Grown men and women speaking like a LOLcat caption... but thinking that they are completely correct. There are thousands of things I could talk about, but no one wants to hear a rant. I HATE the ignorant masses of sheeple.
The CA school system, currently college level, it seems that the elite few who can read a string of five words are considered intelligent... I don't know how I survived amongst these sorry excuses for humans, but no competition for me when trying to find a crappy job...

I've lost count (and memory!) as to how many times I hear misinformation. But the best was the time one of my friends wrote 42 for all the answers to an Algebra test. All. i.e "Simplify 2X + 3Y = 64" "42"
When questioned, he claimed it was "the answer to everything." He failed the class.

Teacher: "Semen has some glucose in it."
Student: "Then why doesn't it taste sweet?"
Teacher: "Probably because you've only gotten it in the back of your mouth."
-the class is talking and the teacher starts yelling to quiet things down. When the noise settles and she catches her breath a student turns to me-
"So anyways."
He got sent to the principal. Not dumb, but lol.

Some of them I didn't experience first-hand, but rather heard about.
My younger brother, told me about these two.
In a fourth level English class:
"Why is the e upside-down in the definition?"
"Is 'would like' one word?"
My friend Taylor told me about this one:
Typical dumb blond raises hand during debate. "I read a book once..."
Yes, that was the end of her statement.
My friend Jade told me about this one, after watching a video on the Panama canal.
A girl raises hand. "I don't get it... If the water-level raises, wouldn't the ships eventually sink?"
My friend Rachel told me about these three.
During her Freshman year: "What's the number for 911?"
"Have we ever had a black president before?"
"Are we still at war with Iraq?"
And my personal favorite, was during my favorite English class of all time. Not so much a dumb question as a rather unsettling one. Then again if you're not a lover of literature as I am, it won't seem so bad.
"Why do we have to read these books by dead authors about shit that never happened, or happened way before we were born?"
Needless to say, two other people and myself went off on a huge tangent about why classic literature is important. Afterward, she replied, "Okay. That makes sense."
Lesson well-learned.

Once in English we were having a discussion about religion (mainly Christianity) when this painfully stupid girl raises her hand and starts up with some answer clearly made up just to get participation credit. Which was fine by me. What really made me wonder how she made it to the 11th grade was how she cited her source as "That movie...Uhh...The Passion of the Christ!" and when me and my friend (admittedly somewhat rudely) suggested she probably meant the Bible she just gave us a confused face.
10th grade Biology, after learning about FOSSILS and carbon dating this girl raises her head.

grade 12 law class, we were talking about arson cases at the time and our teacher goes and says the majority of house fires are caused by people in the kitchen boiling water.
one of the people in the class said, "I didn't know we could light water on fire."
after that and the rant my teacher went on about that we had at the bottom of everyone of our tests afterwards as a multiple choice
"What special property of water have we learned lately?"
it defies gravity
it is wet
You can light it on fire
showering with ice water is physically painful.
that was my law class for you

Teacher: when did the US enter WW2...yes Rob?
Me: december 8th 1941
Class: *burst of laughter*
Teacher: no it was the 7th. i thought you would know that! (was in JROTC and in uniform)
Me: Nope! you're ALL wrong!
Teacher what?!
Me: War can only be declared by an act of congress and the president. congress was not in session because it was a sunday on december 7th, the day we were ATTACKED. but when president Roosevelt declared a state of war on the Empire of Japan and its allies it was the next monday, December 8th. so we officially entered the war on december 8th 1941.
Teacher: *stunned* OMG YOUR RIGHT!
Me: ill take my "A" now please.
Teacher: ok you win.
the people that are qualified to teach.....fail!

When I was in grade 6 there was a grade 5 in my class who thought that North America was a country. There was one person in my grade 8 class who thought the earth was at the centre of the universe. You do have to consider that people's talents are usuallly because of their passions, what they were raised around, what everyone around them thought, excetera. Calling someone stupid is a broad brush.
(Teacher) There are three major branches of languages in the world: Romantic, German, and Oriental.
(Me) Okay.
(Teacher) The Romantic languages are called Romantic because they're beautiful.
(Me) *raises hand* Doesn't it have something to do with Romantic language having Latin roots, and Latin was the language of the Romans?
(Teacher) I'll see you in detention.
This happened when I was in 7th grade.

Sort of like how immigrants know more about America than American's do (generally). Very few American born citizens can pass the citizenship test.
There is a book for christian children that says Dinosaurs roamed with the first Humans. It was supported by one of the churches here.Lexodus said:
