i had a girl in our class that thought she was on everyone’s mine 24/7 and the world revolved around her. she used to ask the stupidest wuestions just to “prove” she participated in the lesson and it actually worked. what used to happen at least once every two lessons was that this girl asked the teacher to go over the WHOLE topic, right after the teacher finished it. not only did she shove her responsibility to go over the topic herself (basically study), she also took A LOT of our time and we were far behind other classes in many lessons. [her mom was the assistant principal of the primary school and was a total karen so most of the teachers just overlooked the girl’s irresponsible shit to avoid having a beef with the girl’s mom]

This week: History teacher: Why did the US ally with France and England in WWI? Student: Because they were all English? History teacher: No, the French are not English
Historically the French were German :) The Franks were a Germanic tribe that just spoke another dialect of diduetsch the medieval German. Their diduetsch contained more latin parts. Germany, France and parts of Italy where once one country called the Frankish empire under the kings Charlemagne and Louis I. Louis I divided the land along the dialect borders in the treaty of Verdun into three parts that each of his sons could have one part. The part called West Francia plus a little of Middle Francia developed to what today is called France and Italy. The rest of Middle Francia and East Francia built the base for todays Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

The stupidest question I can remember hearing came out of my own mouth. It was during my 3rd year of university physics, in a class on classical mechanics. The prof was running through a derivation (it was so long ago I've forgotten what), and had defined two variables as x (lower case) and X (upper case). I was scribbling the proof down in my notebook, but because my upper case X looks pretty much my lower case, I had switched it to Y. I got so involved in translating his equations into my own that when he finally reached the destination, an equation involving both x and X, I asked in honest bewilderment "But whatever happened to Y?" The look he and my classmates gave me was worth the momentary embarrassment.

Sorry, no toilets in Germany you have to pee one the ground. That seems reasonable. And every time you need to take a dump, you get on a plane and fly back to America for 8 1/2 hours.

Once had a girl in my class say “ I don’t believe in Evolution because, why don’t you ever just see a ape turn into a human like at the zoo” she was dead serious
Also same girl asked
“What happens if two different animals get pregnant? Like could a cat and a dog have a hamster?” About a week later
Maybe they thought evolution worked like in Pokémon? Which is equally dumb if they thought that.
I was in my early 20s and my dad asked me, "can dogs and cats breed?" I don't know why but I said "yes." He doubted my answer but I insisted it was true. Then I looked it up and felt so ashamed. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
I had a girl get in to a big argument with others in my class about whether trees were alive. Her reasoning that they weren't alive is that they didn't move on their own. This was _sixth grade_

The stupidest question I can remember hearing came out of my own mouth. It was during my 3rd year of university physics, in a class on classical mechanics. The prof was running through a derivation (it was so long ago I've forgotten what), and had defined two variables as x (lower case) and X (upper case). I was scribbling the proof down in my notebook, but because my upper case X looks pretty much my lower case, I had switched it to Y. I got so involved in translating his equations into my own that when he finally reached the destination, an equation involving both x and X, I asked in honest bewilderment "But whatever happened to Y?" The look he and my classmates gave me was worth the momentary embarrassment.

I once had a girl in my 8th grade social studies class ask, “Do Mexicans speak Hispanic?”
"Kind of..."
@@UnprofessionalProfessor Username checks out
No, they speak Mexican. Duh.
*Usually we are bilingual, either by necessity (English or German) or by the people who lived here before the colonization.*
A nice diversity who only needs a little more union.

At Grade 5, we were talking about how the men do the job, than I ask: "So women are useless?" I feel so ashamed as I am a girl. I swear not to ask the ever again.
I once asked a teacher “Is ‘shit’ a word?” not knowing that swears existed. I got so much detention that day.
Shit is actually an acronym for Ship High In Transport
That ain't fair, it was an accident, your intentions were not bad....
-name supressed- Huh, didn't know that. Like how Wharf is an acronym in itself. Learned that in maths class. Out of how little I remember-!
@@Roadent1241 Yeah, origins for profanity are some of the weirdest part of the English language.
A friend of mine said that when she was in daycare she got put in timeout because she mispronounced hexagons and said heck-tagon. It's especially ridiculous, because heck isn't even an actual swear word. Everyone says it.
While studying WWII a girl in my class asked if soldiers went home overnight. When my teacher answered 'No' very puzzled, she proceeded to ask 'Then how did they go to the toilet?'
@ALEX HUANG do they not have toilets at the military camps and such?
Clifford Benenati idk if they did, but if they didn’t they could make like a hole in the ground
Sorry, no toilets in Germany you have to pee one the ground.
That seems reasonable.
And every time you need to take a dump, you get on a plane and fly back to America for 8 1/2 hours.
Okay, now you're just being silly. That travel time assumes an average flight speed for a commercial airliner of 500 mph, which is much faster than anything we would have at this point in history, it would actually take much longer. Can't we just dig holes and poop in those?
But what if one of the cute local girls sees us and starts calling us disparaging names like der poopenfarten?
*Oh shit, you right!*
“So Godzilla is the giant monkey right?”
Me: “no that’s King Kong”
“What no King Kong is the giant lizard”
I could never convince her otherwise
Litterally tell her to look up the movies and watch them.
Thank god for google
...
Search for Godzilla and if she says google lies and it’s King Kong give up
King Kong isn't even a monkey, he's a giant ape.
Teacher: Who was the female god of Athens? (or something like that)
Kid: Wasn’t it King Tut?
Teacher: ARE YOU SERIOUS?! 💀
The entire class burst into laughter, because, as it turns out, the kid wasn’t joking.
As a mythology nerd, this hurt my soul...

SOVIET UNION COMMUNIST PROPAGANDIST:LET'S RESTORE It's a dark comedy anime series from about the middle of the last decade. The premise is, after a monster blows up the moon, said monster volunteers to teach a classroom of struggling students, while daring them to kiII him by the year's end or else he'll do the same thing to the Earth. It's a very weird show.

"Isn't New York the capital of the United States?" -some girl in my class
Most people assume the city with the largest population is also the captial of said country. Happens a lot with Australia, Turkey etc.
It _was_
A lot of people outside US makes this mistake.
oml. i cant. im done. I NEED MY LIFE LICENSE REVOKED.
I legit thought that when I was in second grade, all of the books about the US I had focused on 'Big apple' and such.
I still wake up at three in the morning kicking my innocent sheets and punching the poor pillows.
“The earth is 2020 years old”- a kid on the bus
I mean, I KINDA see where these people get their logic, but BRUH-
I know nothing about history, but I can bet that they started counting at some point in time. How would, like, molecules be like “yay, happy new year! Whoo, we’re in the year 5!”

Mine is when this girl thought Adolf Hitler was sixty years old and still alive,disregarding the whole thing about him killing himself.
She wouldn't have happened to have hailed from around the Misiones region of Argentina, would she have? And that she stated these things in, or soon after, 1949? I mean, come on, there was a reason why the Americans, the English, the Russians, and several other nations' intelligence communities all continued their searches for him, albeit very quietly and surreptitiously.
An old classmate of mine asked; "where is Hitler now?", To be fair she meant where he was buried but even the teacher laughed at her
Anony Moose welllll, there is actually a shit ton of evidence regarding hitler’s suicide (the jaw bone, the tooth) i think there’s more too.
We have no solid proof of what had happened to Hitler. I mean, it's unlikely he escaped, but still, we don't know what happened for sure.
MsKempinsky fair enough
“so if it takes 9 months for one baby, does it take 18 months for twins?” i can’t even with this like wha-

It was not a student asking a question, more like my sophomore English teacher, trying to explain to the class that “the plural to moose is meese because the plural to goose is geese, and they work the same way.”
"Why is Uruguay similar to Ur-gay? Is everyone there gay?"
They were dead serious.

"Were there cars in Ancient Greece?" some girl asked in my history class.
Yeah, they're all imported Rolling Stones imported from the Flintstones village. Duh.
Technically, yes, one definition of a car is the part of a chariot you stand in, and there were sure some chariots
@@Edgeperor She meant gas powered cars. Never mentioned chariots or carriages.
blacktigerpaw1 if she didn’t explicitly say that she meant gas powered cars, she would still be correct, even if she meant something else
@@Edgeperor Except she wasn't. She wasn't talking about chariots, but automobiles. Hence the question.
A student in my English arts class once asked "Why did Hamlet kill himself after Portia's death, I know their families rivaled and all, but why?" there was so much wrong with this I couldn't help laughing.
I know this is late, but this is a good one. In one of my classes during highschool we some how go to the topic of dyslexia. We were talking about it and how it makes it difficult for some people to follow along in class. A good few minutes go by of people saying their experiences with dyslexia and how it was difficult for them. Then out of nowhere one of the kids in the class says "wait... isn't dyslexia that thing where you can see dead people?". The class got quiet and I don't think anyone even laughed. It was such a stupid question that we all just felt sorry for him. Looking back at it, it's a funny story.
I don't have dyslexia but I wish lol

my teacher in hs was giving this speech on non-violence. He repeatedly kept saying violence was bad. I had no idea what violence meant back then, so I thought he was talking about violins. At the end of the speech, I straight up asked, "What is your problem with violins, they sound pretty pleasing to me?"
In my defence:he was my music teacher.
you are the most amazing person to ever exist
.... That is literally a direct quite from "Seed of Chucky".
Try to be a bit more creative with your lie.
You had no idea what violence meant in high school? Your lie just makes you look like you have special needs

Student: "If a rocket was in the ocean, like how high down would it go?"
Teach: "Do you mean how far down, like how deep?"
Student: "No, I mean how high down."

Sounds like something someone high on weed would say
LMAOO THAT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING I WOULD SAY
@@jamesholden9540 as a person who is high on weed alot, i can confirm
Maybe he was imagining a rocket going up but instead of being surrounded by air it'd be surrounded by water. But the way he formulated didnt make any sense
