Today, I had a science test. A question asked, "What is the first stage of photosynthesis?" I didn't know, so just trying to be light-hearted, I wrote, "The plant must first believe in itself." My teacher didn't think it was funny, and gave me detention for insulting her intelligence. FML

Wit is going to get you nowhere in life if you don't have an education to back it up. Your teacher was just doing her job. Perhaps detention was a little harsh, but if you had done your job and studied there wouldn't have been a problem.

Honestly I probably would have done the same thing, good for you OP, your teacher blows

Haha i always used to write "it's a yellow teletubbie" with those questions, never got detention (A)

Science teachers usually don't have a sense of humour about things that aren't funny.

My professors will usually give you 1 pt. Usually a pity pt or a funny pt

@97. You idiot. The stages of photosynthesis are not 'basic knowledge'. I just finished a drawing of the cycles for biology revision, and I had to squash it to fit an A3 page. The first stage would I suppose depend on whether the electron is following cyclic or non-cyclic photophosphorylation.

mehh screw photosynthesis. i'm doing that subject now in bio. -___-

Ouch! I hate it when you try to do something funny and the teacher doesn't care or punishes you...

I agree that you shouldn't have gotten detention but how can you not know that? sunlight. I think. maybe. possibly.
