Stop...
You are reminding me of my History Teacher...but she won't admit to anything. You can tell though the way that she forces Liberal views down our throats every day.
She talks about how great Harry S. Truman and Obama are and loves conspiracies. We learned more about conspiracies of the Holocaust, Pearl Harbor, the entire war against the Germans and the entire Korean War. She doesn't teach what actually happened. I learned more from 5 minutes on Wikipedia than I did in an hour in History Class. Oh...and did I mention that she also said that nobody cares about dead soldiers?
Just the other day, I was absent for a doctor appointment and made it back just in time for the tail end of her lesson on the Cuban Missile Crisis about Soviet Submarine B-59.
I ALMOST destroyed her entire lesson. I easily could have. She was talking about how the sub "dived real deep where the surface naval ships couldnt find it below this thing where the water makes it to where they cant find the sub"
THERMAL LAYER! It's where the water changes temperature and refracts sound waves. I know that isn't common knowledge...but when you are teaching a lesson about Submarines....you can at least know the correct name for depth charges, periscopes, THERMAL LAYERS!, and basic naval terms.
Then, she says "The surface naval ships used sonar to freak the guys in the sub out." She obviously had no idea what Sonar is. Friday, she was talking about the Gulf Of Tonkin Incident where the USS Maddox exchanged fire with the North Vietnamese Torpedo Boats....well...use your imagination on how it went. When she started talking about shooting guns at radio signals....I just laid my head down and took a short nap.
She hates me cause I corrected her more than a few times during the WW1, WW2, and Korean War chapters. I even brought in a Declassified CIA report on the Warsaw Pact in the Korean War... She just looked at me and said "ohhh.....cool...."
And she went right back to teaching conspiracy theories about Korea. Sometimes, I'll ask a question that challenges her theories and she says "Thats a reeallly good question!" and just continues.
Sorry if I derailed the thread...but I can't stand History Class. It's horrible.
