So did you? What did you say? We were studying Serbian Enlightment movement, a guy named Dositej Obradović. So we had to write down the importance of his work. I wrote down that he brought the Enlightment to Serbs on the territory of at that time southern Austrian Empire. She came and we had a following discussion:
Her: It's Austria-Hungary, not Austria
Me: Austria-Hungary was declared in 1867 under the Hungarian compromise after the Hungarian revolt almost broke the country. That was 56 years after Dositej's death. Until then the official name was the Austrian Empire. Also I wrote down southern Austrian Empire so if someone who doesn't exactly know where the Serbs lived wouldn't confuse it with northern provinces like Österreich, Graz or Tirol.
Her: *get's angry and leaves*

My teacher: Why are you incapable of learning this?!
Me: Why can't you teach it?
(Honestly, what the fuck, you blame me for not understanding, it's you who's not doing your job properly, your job is to impart knowlege, you failed, don't blame me, bitch)

Eh, I haven't had the need to. Most of my teachers have been pretty cool.

Oh my, yeah. It doesn't matter how funny it sounds, you were right. I do hope the video game teaching method kicks off. If my kids are gonna be like me, they'll learn a lot better using that method.

I don't ever burn them, but I do make comments on the lesson and correct them.
Math:
Teacher: What we call a polynomial with a degree of 3?
Me: Confusing.
Teacher: *chuckling* It's cubic...
Also, sometimes, I know more about the lesson than the teacher does.

We were learning circles and the teacher said 'focus on the locus'
I proceeded to ask her if she was going to launch her rap career and called her Eminem

to be honest something kind of like this happened once with me. a teacher was giving us grief we did not know the answer. so I asked, "so what IS the answer." she began to open her mouth, skimmed a few pages then said "...well...it is in your books."
never again did she act like we were stupid for not knowing an answer

My gym teacher: Why are you trying to leave? Class isn't over for another five minutes!
Me: ...because I hate this class. All you do is sit here on your ass and watch half naked girls do yoga. You can't give me detention because you're not a real teacher. Were you not smart enough to become a real teacher? You claim that "Everything I know, I learned in gym class." Well that is the biggest lie ever fucking told. I did not learn shit from gym. I learned that this class sucks ass.

Teacher was reading to us a novel about a detective who disguises himself as a homeless man to solve a murder case or something. We came across the word "eponymous"
She asked us what the word meant without checking the dictionary just based on what we thought it was. I told her it meant the same title or self titled. Like, "Alice is a baker and she opened up her eponymous cookie store and she called it Alice's"
She said I was wrong and I don't even remember what her definition was, but I wouldn't let it go and kept telling her she was wrong. So she looked the word up on the dictionary and she just said "you know what, you're right", and at that time she got totally burned and dropped the whole situation on that. Got so much respect from my classmates. I was so glad that I was right and she was wrong. lol. :)

I'm taking classes online so my only contact with my instructor is by email. the course is "Intro to Business" which I thought sounded a lot like accounting and staplers and printer toner, but it's actually economics. the questions are all multiple choice so I've just been picking the answers that sound closest to "neoliberalism is awesome and the free market will fix everything" (got an A in the course so far, ayyy lmao). I'm dying to know if the instructor actually believes any of this shit. "if the demand for my dick is high and the supply is low, your mom will pay a lot more for it"

I don't remember anything specifically I just remember annoying my teachers with questions often like '' What is this used in? Is it used at all? Is it useful at all? What college degree would I need to acquire a job that ever used this formula? ''

Today at English:
Write synonyms fir certain words.
Not go far- stay close, about personality weak-willed or unmotivated. Correct answer- not earn enough
Well balanced: in general golden middle, about professional skills Jack of all trades. Correct answer- calm amd reasonable
She didn't wire in which context she wanted the synonym to be in. It was all incorrect even thought some of those were correct in the same context. Also the class before:
T: *in Serbian* Take these papers. They're your tests. (Uzmite ove papire. To su vaši testovi)
Me: *English-Australian accent, in English* WHAT THE FUCK ARE THOSE?!
T: *English* These are a preparation for the upcoming test.
The preparation didn't feature the damn synonyms or in which context you want to use them.
