Today, I tried to explain to my history teacher why Woodrow Wilson would not have called the Great War "World War 1" as she constantly claims. I was sent to the office for my insubordination. FML

How dare you correct your teacher, OP?! Don't you know they are ALWAYS right, even when they are wrong? Tsk tsk, you definitely deserved this! But, seriously, what a douche of a teacher.

Welcome to America, where you can be as right as you're possibly able to, but if someone says you're wrong, you're wrong.

Being right doesn't mean jack, if you can't BE right - my annoying, though right, law professor

I have learned over the years to just mention inaccuracies once to teachers then shut my mouth and keep it to myself that they are morons

Remember, teachers HATE saying "I'm wrong" or "I don't know." And they cannot EVER say, "I'm sorry."

Good teachers WILL admit when they're wrong. The problem is that most teachers, mainly those in the public school system, think they're automatically right just because they have the degree and you don't.

The good news is that if you get some fake Roman coins marked "44 B.C.," you know a gullible fool who might be willing to pay you a lot of money for them!

To be fair once you get into FE education and study history (or if you study history outside of school), you learn that everything they teach you in Secondary School/High School is wrong anyway.

Teachers are like parents, they're always right, even when they're wrong.

May be the same teacher that tried to have a student suspended because he challenged her about her saying that a pound was heavier than a kilogram.

Technically, Wilson understood the the treaty of Versailles would antagonise the Germans and a war of revenge would soon follow.

Because we're always in the habit of listing things numerically from the start. Just look at the American Civil War 1, the Mexican-American War 1, the French and Indian War A. The list goes on.
