<p>I found it interesting that my AP Chrmistry teacher (who was also the physics teacher) could not explain how electrical circuits work in depth.</p>
<p>Sadly, I can relate. On numerous occasions I had to correct my Honors Chemistry teacher on her “simple” math errors. I can see one or two slip ups in a one month period but when it’s an everyday occurrence you start to wonder if they just give anyone a degree in teaching…</p>
<p>My Chemistry teacher (who’s getting her masters in Chemistry) couldn’t explain it either. I remember one time she said that don’t expect teachers to know absolutely everything. Sometimes teacher have to look it up and get back with you. One time, my chemistry teacher had to pull out a Chemistry & Physic Law book and refer to it. So it’s fine, some teachers forget things, it’s normal.</p>
<p>Not that I can remember. Totally unrelated but somewhat related, however, I LOVE when this really annoying and obnoxious nerdy kid in my AP Bio class says something and the teacher says, “I wish I could agree but that’s not right” and then he gives her the death stare and refuses to admit he’s wrong. I RELISH THESE MOMENTS.</p>
<p>He’s the kind of quiet kid who would be the one to snap one day…</p>
<p>We were having a very engaging conversation in World History about the Holocaust (teacher’s favorite subject) and Auschwitz (one of her favorite places to teach about), it was all jolly and everyone was interested and having a good time (as much fun as you can have while talking about concentration camps) and it suddenly came to a grinding halt when someone asked about Mengele and “what experiments he did.” She got all choked up and wouldn’t say anything for the rest of class (busywork yay), and finally at the end told us to “Google it,” so that’s what my friend and I did at lunch right after.</p>
<p>We wished that we hadn’t…</p>
<p>^^ lol the kid is probably right. </p>
<p>electrical circuits are very mysterious objects - more mysterious than you probably initially guessed. something that works so magically is not explained or understood without great difficulty.</p>
<p>this reminds me when i asked my inquisitive physics teacher how a volt meter measures the voltage difference.</p>
<p>she took me aside and talked to me a bit about it. of course, it’s hard to know how such things work, but i think she helped me start to understand how it could work.</p>
<p>I completely agree! There was this know-it-all in my AP Bio class that would constantly try to correct the teacher or just bring up random facts. I swear I heard his voice more than the teacher’s. Everyone in the class loved when he ended up being wrong or completely shut down by the teacher.</p>
<p>^That’s funny. There’s a lot of those kinds of students in my school</p>
<p>There’s this one student at my school. He asks all sorts of questions that his teachers can’t answer - but he could. Examples follow:</p>
<p>How old are you?
What’s your address?
What’s your cell phone number?
Who’s your spouse?
What college did you go to?</p>
