biology teacher

[Dick Justice]

I'm not sure where this should go, but I think Spirituality is maybe the best bet.

Anyway, I'm in 10th grade, and I have a terribly shitty biology teacher. Mr. Richardson. The other day, I got in a huge fight with him over something that nobody should ever have to argue with anyone whose life is devoted to science--we argued creationism.

First, he started giving us a little spiel about how, as soon as a sperm cell and an egg cell meet, "that's you, that's a little baby." That pissed me off majorly, because I'm one of those pro-choicer baby-murdering motherfuckers. So I told him, "No, Mr. Richardson, actually you are wrong." It's about the ballsiest thing I've ever said to a teacher. I was very proud.

He started saying that as soon as those two cells are joined, that's life, and that's a baby. I argued that a sperm cell is life, and so is an egg cell. And that, in fact, any single cell is its own independent life, as he had taught us.

He didn't like that. Then we got into fetuses.

I recited all the characteristics of living things that he had given us to memorize. I pointed out that a zygote doesn't fulfill all of those functions, and neither does a fetus, nor does it become anywhere near an independent organism until the abortion cutoff.

So that brought GOD into the situation. He kept saying that "That's how nature meant for it to be," cleverly switching "god" for "nature." How clever. Except that he kept saying "god" by mistake, and then correcting himself and saying "nature."

I just gave up at that point, and, unsurprisingly, received a 65 on my participation grade, because that's the only thing he could deduct from without being corrected by hard, objective facts. (I've got like an 89 average in his class.) But to be fair, I shouldn't even have that. Aren't I always the one bringing in new class discussions, just like that one? I should get a fucking 100 for my participation grade, and this retard should be fired for teaching religion as science.

Um... discuss below?

He is your teacher, and you are his student, it is a matter of respect. It is not respectful to call a teacher out, in the middle of class. Perhaps you should, (outside of class) apologize for being disrespectful and ask to discuss the matter outside of class.

just my humble suggestion

There's nothing disrespectful about what you did. You need to stamp out ignorance at its core, that is the people teaching that sort of bullshit. I applaud what you did, and I know it must have taken a lot of guts. Even though you lost some points off your grade, 89 is still good, and you can feel even better about yourself that you exposed the teacher for what he is, a creationist fool.

[Encatuse]

What you did, I have no problem with. But, you didn't really expect to change this ignorant guy's dumbass opinion did you? You sound smart. Smart enough to know that you weren't going to change this guy's teaching method in the slightest even if you shot him in the leg. So, in it's real essense, the arguement was totally useless, and did nothing but hurt your grade. Next time, don't waste your time.

I learned something by being mildly intelligent and going to 'bad kid/stupid kid' school. Don't ever correct a teacher. All it'll do is piss them off and thereby get you a shitty grade. And they can almost always come up with an excuse for giving it to you.

Only a select few teachers deserve respect.
No matter how obvious a jackass a teacher is, no matter how much support you have from peers or other evidence what that teacher does is wrong it is very hard in most cases to call them out.
The best solution is to find out what car they drive and slash their tires. Just don't get caught.

Teachers are the one group of people I have encountered in my short 18 years on this planet who have angered and frustrated me more than any other.
