<p>Heard in a conference, over a 70 I got on an APUSH essay...(ironically, the same day I got an A+ in APEng), just thought you guys would get a kick out of that. No idea how to deal with such a crazy teacher!</p>
<p>Yes, because Virginia clearly = Northeast. Even though it's in the South.</p>
<p>what? that teacher is insane.</p>
<p>Haha, yes the Virginia dynasty was clearly from New York.</p>
<p>Yeah, that's so wrong it's comical. Did you try to refute it?</p>
<p>I almost burst out laughing...but, refuting it wouldn't really do anything. I say, "I was trying to say" whenever she's wrong, instead of being like flat out you're wrong, which she takes as meaning-"I didn't write this in my essay, but here it is now, and I'm explaining it." She also didn't get my essay on inflation ("money is always money-now isn't $5 always worth $5? How could you make money less or more value?" & "states didn't have currencies")....she reads out of fictional biographies, which explains her alternate histories.</p>
<p>wonder if she thought the movie Dogma was a nonfictional account...</p>
<p>Wow. That goes beyond plain incompetence to a new, previously undiscovered level of sheer ignorance, at least for a teacher (I guess most of the population would be like that otherwise).</p>
<p>Some teachers are not very bright. I suggest that you talk to the department head at your school about this.</p>
