What did a teacher try to teach you which wasn't true?
In 2nd grade, I had a worksheet that said "what is the word version of 40?". I answered "Forty". Teacher said the answer was "Fourty". My mom called the school. Teacher apologized in front of the class. I mean, sure he was 71, but still....

My band teacher once taught me an extremely wrong way to hit high notes. I didn't know this wasn't even how it was supposed to sound until high school. XD

I also had a sunday school teacher call me the spawn of Satan, if that counts.

@Chronosplit ...That is the worst Sunday School teacher ever.

-4th grade science teacher

I had a history teacher who wouldn't give me the map for the map test the next day
I had been absent the entire week
THERE WAS NO WAY I COULD HAVE GOTTEN THE MAP


needless to say I failed the test thanks to her >:T

at least she let me retake it

One time I grabbed someone elses geography packet on a friday, and I did not know this until I got home. The packet was complete and im like ( ._.) So I get back to school next week and I tell this to the geography teacher and she's like "well i can try to get u another copy but" So on THAT friday I go to school in the morning and she's like "wheres ur geo packet" and she had just given it to me mere seconds ago

My 5th grade teacher helped me discover that I have exercise induced asthma. We were walking to music class, and I stopped to get a drink of water (I had been thirsty and asked repeatedly for the previous hour) I barely got a mouth full and she made me run to the end of the playground and back, which was about 2 acres on scarred asphault in the Southern California heat (If I recall it was mid 80s that day).

I collapsed on the way back, and actually burned my skin on the asphalt because of the heat. I remember walking back and wheezing so hard, my friend started crying because my face was apparently turning blue. The teacher ripped me into the teachers break room, stuck my head in the sink, and splashed me in the face with cold water while I cried for her to stop. She told me I was "making a big deal so that she would get fired"

But then my mom, who taught at that school as well, heard the commotion and I still remember her saying "(Teacher's first name) what are you doing to that student?" then when she realized it was me, I remember thinking somehow I would be the one in trouble, and I was still wheezing and falling in place. It was awful. When my mom saw it was me she told the teacher to go to their boss' office and wait for her.

This was at a Christian school :)

XD[/quote] omg that reminds me of the time i was in beginner band and my director taught me literally all the wrong fingerings on the flute, which i was still learning to play at the time, so then i had to switch to the "correct ones" which felt 10x more awkward thanks to my being left-handed and therefore ass-backwards. i quit after that. :')
