I remember a girl in my math class asking if the degrees in our equations were Fahrenheit or Celsius. We all giggled, the teacher kept his cool and explained the difference when comes to measurement and temperature, and went about his lesson. He was the chillest teacher ever.

Incredibly happy that dyscalculia was brought up in the last story, because as the OP talked about the kid's struggle to read analog, that's the thought I had.

I had a girl in my class that thought that Puerto Rican people HAPPENED(diddnt know it was a place) when a black person and a white person had a baby and they were born speaking Spanish because they're brains were confused about if they were black or white. This same girl thought that when trees swayed in the wind, the trees were swaying on their own and THAT created the wind.

I almost when blind from her obliviousness.

A friend of my little brother was asked by her teacher if she knows of Shakespear. She replied that she knew him very well, and even went to his concert last month

When I was in primary school, we had cross country in summer. So one year the teacher went over the route, and then went over what to do and where to go if it rained. This took a while to explain. There was this boy who was well knows for not listening to anything. At the end, he asked "But what if it rains?" and everyone cracked up because he looked so oblivious. From them on, whenever he said something or mentioned cross country we would say "but what if it rains??" 🤣

When I was in 7th grade, a kid asked a police officer if he believed there was such thing as stupid questions. The officer said no. He then asked if the officer had a toilet in his car so he could use the bathroom on shift. The officer replied "Except that one". Then proceeded to answer it.

University level advanced sociology class; student was either a math or science major. He sat next to me in class. The professor only gives open book exams, because he's interested in our thought process, not our skill at regurgitation. Tells us on Friday that Monday will be an open book exam. Monday, student asks professor if it's an open book exam! He did this all semester, which I found absolutely hilarious. You'd think that someone studying a rigid discipline would be grateful for the one class that *expected* him to refer to the textbook while writing his essay answer?

Polar bears were never endangered by "global warming". Their diet is nowhere near as restrictive as was claimed, and their numbers never plummeted as falsely reported. Even if the North polar ice cap melted (which it won't, and it will not significantly raise sea levels, since the cap is already floating in the Arctic Ocean), the polar bears will modify their diet to more fish and land based foods, and probably interbreed with other brown bear species to form hybrids.

You are required to take a calculus course, but calculus doesn't relate to your major. Here is why: Historically college was only for very elite and competitive professions, like doctors or lawyers. Only the best of the best are wanted for such jobs. Thus, the classes were designed to fail most students. This was the era of "look to the right, look to the left, only one of you will pass this class." Then it was decided that college should be required for all jobs. This required college to become passable to most students. With a few exceptions, college classes can no longer be designed with the express purpose of failing most students. Despite this, many programs still wish to weed out student. Calculus I is the standard class chosen to eliminate students. The logic used is: if you can't pass a calculus class, you aren't smart enough for the material in your major. That is why you took calculus Note: calculus is about optimization. If you need to minimize or maximize anything, then you really do need to take calculus.

We learned how to read analog clocks in 1st-3rd grade.. I'm o-e of the only people in my class who can read it besides a few of my friends.. Were in 6th grade, by the way.

Oh shit I have a brilliant one. One of my friends was in a PE class with this absolute wilted cabbage. During the basketball unit, the teacher kept telling them part of the skills test would be layups. (This kid thinks he’s a legend at basketball and there’s a whole other story about him I have, but I’ll put that in replies). So the skills test comes around and some people are kinda nervous because they’re having trouble with layups. Thd first thing the PE teacher says is “I was kidding about the layups, there is no layup test” and then goes on to explain the rest of the rules for the testing. When he asks if anyone has questions, Wilted Cabbage puts up his hand and asks “what about the layup part of the test?” The teacher (being one of the meme teachers at the school) just gives up and starts hitting his head against the gym door. My friend says to Wilted Cabbage “he said at the beginning of the explanation that we aren’t having a layup test!” Without missing a beat, Wilted Cabbage says “but he didn’t talk about how he will do the layup test!” My friend goes and joins the gym teacher on the wall next to the door while the rest of the class collectively facepalms.

So here’s another story about Wilted Cabbage that has to do with his stunning overconfidence. I mentioned he thinks he’s a legend at basketball, and here’s how I know. In 5th grade, I’m playing basketball with a group of kids during recess and Wilted is in this group. He never really plays by the rules and cheats regularly, and literally everyone knows it. At one point he is dribbling the ball and is doing horribly trying to get past the defenders. He decides to pull a *soccer* move in *basketball* and pretends to get knocked over despite it being clear that no one even touched him. His credibility as a fair player is called into question once again but this time in addition to denial, he boasts about him being a better player than everyone else there (he isn’t by a long shot). Everyone there denies this claim which causes him to say, and this is a direct quote, “I could beat Curry one-on-one.” I’m the first to break the baffled silence and tell him Curry is literally a professional and way taller than him and would run circles around Wilted with ease. And the next thing that comes out of his mouth, and I shit you not, “well that’s obviously why I have the rest of my team!” I should mention, Wilted Cabbage also has a track record of zero consistency in what he says, changing his position within seconds without hesitation
