Just the Facts, Ma’am

What would you do if your teacher said something during class that was incorrect factually?

@jesusredeemedme2425 Correct them. I have done it. One time my elementary teacher who wasn't a math lover got confused teaching unit conversion. Just common sense I could tell it was backwards and was able to get her to agree. She let me teach - best way of learning something I think! She reviewed her notes and taught the curriculum way and outmr class had 2 methods, plus my common sense verification method. 

Good teachers roll with it. I think we all get caught on a little brain mistake from time to time. Typically classmates appreciate it. Being taught incorrectly can add to confusion!

@jesusredeemedme2425 when I was a child I would have raised my hand and asked. Now I genuinely don't care enough to bother 😅

@jesusredeemedme2425 yesssss. I'm not about to bother with it unless it is genuinely important information that is dangerous to not know properly (like something medicine related but I'm not a doctor so well, never had a case of that). But if it's just not important, I can't be bothered. At best if I'm really interested in it, I can always ask chatgpt because there is a nuance a lot of times like I may know one thing but the chances how I know it is incorrect are higher than the teacher knowing it wrong. So If I really want, I can research it later. But most of the times it's not something I would care about lol. If the teacher says the sky is green, it is green for the duration of this hour. I couldn't care less 😂
