I remember having a "science teacher" in the 8th grade or so. He wasn't the brightest bulb in the box, and one day he's explaining the formula to calculate how gravity falls off with altitude. Then he jumped the shark and tried to use it to calculate how the weight would increase as you went to the center of the earth, and when I pointed out that you should weigh NOTHING at the center of the earth, he went off. Another kid backed me up, and he got even madder. Then I asked him "In which direction would you weigh three tons? The direction your feet happened to point?" or some such shit. The other kid and I both got an hour detention.
Except for one, all my teachers were dumb-asses. They are not there to educate you but to indoctrinate you into being a good little sheep. I was always pissing off my teachers by correcting them. But you can't fix stupid. LOL
