In sociology, this conversation happened.
Student: To fix the economy, just get rid of money and make everything free!
Me: The people would just take everything, and we would run out of supplies.
Student: But it wouldn't be stealing!

This isnt that bad because if your just told the theory of communism then it sounds fine a society where everyone is equal its not until your told how its abused in countrys that use it does it seem bad.Darth Pope said:
My recent one is
Teacher : What is the difference between smooth and rough endoplasmic reticulum?
Student : Is rough ER made of sandpaper?
Teacher : ....... Sandpaper .......
Student : ...... yeah like a biological sandpaper ......
*Tumble weed*
Student : I just thought it might aid diffusion
Me : Mind, blown
I don't really remember any particular instance from school but I think it is really stupid how anybody ever puts *face palm* this tells me that when somebody does something stupid or ignorant your hit yourself in the face... which I believe in most cases would be even more idiotic then what you hit yourself for in the first place and I know its not just an "internet saying" or anything along those lines because I've actually seen ppl hit them selves after showing me something on the net or in real life they would usually put *face palm* after
edit and for some reason they usually say "face palm" as they hit them selves in the face

We're not necessarily hitting ourselves, we're covering our faces. I do it my self (such as in the following anecdote.) I ail to see how this is stupid.Halios said:
In French 1
Teacher comments on how some people say if you speak French with a Spanish accent, it sounds Italian or something idiotic like that. After he says the word, "Italy" the bimbo to my right asked, "Where in France is Italy?" I facepalmed.
Me: Can I test my blood? It's just I'm diabetic and I need to.
Maths Teacher: *Shakes head*
Me: What the fuck?

[said to my 10th grade English teacher; she's from Canada]
Classmate: "Miss, you lived in Cubic?"
Yes, he did mean Quebec.

I was intrigued by this and opened up notepad and started typing and got to 46. I subsequently google'd a game where you're supposed to place all the states on a map and I managed to place them with an average error of 96 miles. Being from Iceland, I find it amazing that someone who lives in the U.S. has trouble with this.theultimateend said:
Also, Bush Jr. was a joke, we all know that. The U.S. government will turn around one day and give a press release saying "GOT YA!" or something. xP teehee
On-topic :
"I'm not blonde!" from a girl with bleached-blonde hair, who's a stereotypical blonde.
"Excuse me, sir, but can I go to the bathroom to change my underwear?"... good first impression in psychology class, if you ask me!
Oh just remembed a old one^^. we were debating pro/cons with nuclear power in our class and i say '' Well they have very good protection, i mean the doors are like 2 meters thick''.
other dude ''what if they rust''?

My math teacher was a wonder.
He'd bring out jems like "Why are you sitting like that, girl, with your legs bent like railway tracks on a hot summer day?" or "I went to Greece this summer with the kids. I met someone who buys boys for good money. I really want to take the boys to Greece again next year."

(When speaking to a girl from Turkey doing a presentation on her country) "Do you speak Ankara?" Ankara being the capital of Turkey, and NOT THE LANGUAGE.
Someone in my World History class did not know what imperialism was, damn it, we'd already studied it, and you should know what it is before 10th grade anyhow.
I met someone on a TF2 server the other day who didn't know who Joseph Goebbels was, everyone in America does Nazi Germany and the Holocaust pretty early on, and then comes back to revisit it, there's little excuse not to know the bigwigs of the Nazi regime.
Someone overheard me discussing Israel and Palestine, and abruptly said "Palestine's not a country." with that condescending tone that you get from a doctor to a medical intern. The kid was a mega-stoner though, so I suppose a bit of that's to be expected.
Our teacher once had to warn us beforehand that "Drop massive amounts of thermonuclear ordinance on all of them" would not be a viable solution to the Middle East Peace Plan project that we were doing, I'm horrified by the thought that someone in the past actually did that and was completely serious about it.
This is more a general critique, but I get annoyed by all the people who, when we learn about Nazi Germany/Maoist China/other bad places insist that all the people who fell under Hitler's/Mao's spell were insanely stupid people and that these people themselves would never fall for it. Note, people in Rome probably felt the same way over a thousand years ago when Caesar came to power as a dictator, everyone's vulnerable, everyone can be tricked and deceived by someone who's clever enough. Frankly, I pose this question: if you were in the middle of a depression, where your money was so worthless that you used it for fire-kindling, and you had been forced to take the blame for an entire world war, in both financial and literal senses, wouldn't you support that charismatic young man who promised to turn things around, and to put folks back to work? You might say "no" right now, but you can't really know until you experience it.

This happened in an AP (advanced placement) World History class.
Teacher:Can anybody tell me what a Ziggurat is?
Girl:OH!OH! Isn't that a Pokemon!?

"Of course it is you idiot, theres a massive castle on it!" <<<< this was my history teachers reaction to the above question.
Edit: Oh and this one is by yours truely in GCSE German mocks
Teacher: What is your Mothers Job.
Me: Meine Mutter is einer Kleidershank.. translating my mother is a wardrobe. I was supposed to say Krankenschweister, a nurse. (Excuse the spelling its been a long time)

Not in school ,but at work during breaktime, which could almost classify, imo.
Discussing Dutch politics. We were talking about when you get 18, what kind of power you get. Most of the ppl were like 'yeah we can get a drivers license!' or 'Strong alcohol ftw' so I bomb the discusson by saying 'what about the right to vote?'
Girl in front of me: Voting? I'm honestly not interested in that.
Me: you know our current Prime Minister
Girl: Yeah,
Follows a lengthy convo by various people shouting partynames/leadernames which she has to try to assign to the proper leader/party. Obviously she got them all wrong. But a guy next to her said rather softly something, which she repeated out loud:
Girl: 'Yeah he told me I had to ask 'who is the leader of NS..', what was it again? Oh yes. Who is the leader of the NSDAP?'
We rofled.
Another case was a girl who couldn't do 9x7 from her head. She felt it was an achievement when she said 61, 'it was almost right'
Anyway, on school, I had somekind of religion teacher (not exactly that, but not really explainable what class it is) who was convinced people lose 21 grams when they die, and people's souls are energy packets which travel the universe and all kind of other crap like that. He dodged all science by claiming quantum physics proved it (none of the students, including me, know enough about that to dispute it). Worse of all, since he is usually right about other things he teaches in, people in my class think he's ALWAYs right on ANYTHING. Goddamn. I tried once to tell him the research on the 21-gram matter was tampered with to show those results, and he just dodged it by saying 'numerous other researches have confirmed people lose 21 grams when they die'. I just ignored him the rest of the year, basicly.
