I was not aware, but apparently there is a "A guy walks into a bar..." series of videos - pretty funny! Check it out on Youtube!

Oh my gawd, those are so damn funny. I laughed out loud at the Kansas City one.

Thanks PSP for keeping us laughing.

The value of mainstream education in America!

I have a tremendous respect for the teachers in America, but my experience has concluded that the ones who pick Education are the ones who couldn't make it in the real world.
:surprise:
So much for the best and the brightest...

"Although he is correct..."

I applaud Alex for questioning authority - especially when they are blatantly wrong!

I applaud Alex for not wanting to be a sheep as the teacher wants him and the rest of his students to be ... "simply accepting my teachings".

But I can't applaud a child disrespecting an elder. He could have told the teacher that he was wrong, that he would take it up with his parents and principle, but not argued about it. Children will be children though, especially when they know they are right.

Now I would have argued with the teacher to the point of crying because even though I knew I was right, my parents would know I was right, the fear of an a$$ whooping for disrespecting my teacher would have started the waterworks. lol My dad, 28 years Army, can you say "strict upbringing beyond belief"!

Respect must be earned. A good teacher would have turned the initial challenge to the "fact" that a kilometer is longer than a mile into a quick lesson in research rather than insisting that they were right. A teacher admitting that they don't always have all of the answers deserves respect.

There wasn't anything in the letter home about his attitude being chronic, so I'm not concerned that he was consistently disrespectful.

It does make you wonder what other "facts" that this teacher told the class...

Yes, if the teacher would have changed his tune and not got all worked up that this kid was "schooling" him, and said something to the affect like "Let's look that up. Hey, you're right! Good job, Alex! Students, lesson learned that teachers do make mistakes." That way he wouldn't have had to send that letter to the adults who probably thought after they read it "This is the dumbass teaching my kid?" lol
