<p>I forgot exactly how it was brought up, but quote from my junior year history class: “Wait, Alaska and Hawaii aren’t right next to each other?” She thought that since they were displayed together in the corner of maps, they were next to each other. LOL</p>
<p>Our precalc teacher would always say things life “make sure you’re working if admin (administration) comes in. I don’t want to get in trouble, etc.” Then towards the end of the year 2014’s current salutatorian asked “Who’s this admin guy, and why are you so afraid of him?”</p>
<p>“I can personally assure all of you, the government is responsible for the 9/11 attack”.
-A guy in my AP Human Geography class.</p>
<p>In AP Gov:</p>
<p>Kid: “Yo, where did all this stuff about two senators per state come from?”
Me: “The Constitution.”
Kid: “Nah, the Constitution doesn’t have legit NUMBERS in it.”
Me: “It does.”
Kid: “Yoooo, they got it all figured out, didn’t they? They didn’t just like wing it.” (Reference to founding fathers.)</p>
<p>America is failing. ^</p>
<p>@SaraCo - America is failing in that AP Government students don’t have an understanding of rudimentary concepts in the Constitution or that America is failing because the Constitution is flawed?</p>
<p>People don’t understand the Constitution.
Trever Packer said that AP Gov students do the worst on questions about the Constitution.
Most kids in my school can’t tell you the difference between it and the D of I.
I believe people need to understand it, even basically.</p>
<p>…I say to @preamble1776.</p>
<p>Haha.</p>
<p>By the way, I understand the Constitution is 1787, not the 1776 D of I.</p>
<p>This ghetto girl in English thought that Mexico was a part of the US AND she thought that Africa was a country.</p>
<p>Also…
“What African country is Victoria Falls in?”
“Chile!”</p>
<p>Haha. No.</p>
<p>^ Something is wrong with this world. Haha. 
</p>
<p>Oh, and this is probably the most hilarious thing I’ve heard at this school EVER. Keep in mind that this was the Biology II teacher. She was really Christian and attempted several times to convert me after assuming I was Muslim because of my skin color (I’m atheist though lol). This was during the evolution unit, which she refused to teach. Also, the Bio II class was a class for people who failed Bio I, so they saw nothing wrong with the statement. </p>
<p>I realized what the bio II class was a week after the deadline to drop classes was. :/</p>
<p>“If humans evolved from monkeys, how come there are still monkeys around?”</p>
<p>At that point, I lost it.</p>
<p>The next day, she taught us the Biblical account of the creation of the Earth. I reported her later that day and she was fired later that week.</p>
<h1>scopesmonkeytrialprobz</h1>
<p>Haha. Sorry. Couldn’t help it.</p>
<p>“I’m sick of America! I’m moving to New York!”</p>
<p>^</p>
<p>LOL</p>
<p>“I hate Obamacare! I’m moving to Canada!”</p>
<p>my whole school: “if mitt romney/barack obama wins, i’m moving to canada!”</p>
<p>yeah none of them actually moved</p>
<p>Haha. My whole school “who are romney and obama and where IS canada?”</p>
<p>“Obama shouldn’t have won the Nobel peace prize, he doesn’t need the money.”</p>
<p>This happened in my sophomore year, AP European History.</p>
<p>Test question: “Which country during this period was colloquially referred to as the sick man of Europe?”
Teacher: “Alright, it’s the Ottoman Empire. I think all of you put that…”
Girl: “Wait, it’s not Russia?”
Teacher: “Why would it be Russia?”
Girl: “Because Russia’s really cold and everybody gets sick a lot, right?”</p>
<p>She was a joy.</p>
<p>Not a high school quote, and not the student with the problem (given the age group), but still funny:</p>
<p>Kindergartener: “Europe is a state.”
Elementary school librarian: “No, it’s a country.”</p>
<p>Probably a brain fart, but still…</p>
