i had this as well growing up
in college now most of the instructors are not like this, but still a few are... i just drop those classes and there are ways to rate your teachers now on the internet too (for college), they quickly disappear afterwards and are replaced by better teachers
the one i've been studying networking with linux/unix for the last year, todd meadors, is one who when he is wrong or if there is a better method to accomplishing something than what he suggested actually encourages the students to point it out to him and the class that he is wrong or misinformed
but when i was in grade school and even in highschool most of my instructors were not worth shit(obviously i can't spell lol - or am very good with math) i always found myself in the principle's office for speaking up... eventually i just quit giving a flying fuck - i wound up gettting alot more from the streets
desperately need a new sys and equal education should be available to all the people and anyone teaching false information and then punishing those who challenge them should be considered criminal and be severely punished and lose their right to teach
mistakes will be made and give me a few more shots and i might claim that a kilometer is a larger distance than one mile, but you should always accept being corrected when you are wrong... my teacher now has fucked up on numerous occasions and my classmates and i have caught him on it and providing a reference he was able to say "oops, i fucked up there... we learn new stuff everyday" that is the only type of person that should be allowed to teach and especially to children
this type of teacher is only accepted under this capitalist system... where they want to teach you to blindly obey even when you know that they are incorrect... to not ask questions, just accept the horse manure and call it ice cream and eat it up with a fucking spoon
