    Text - Nikooleo 908 points 5 hours ago When I was in the 6th Grade the teacher called on me while I wasn't paying attention. I think the question was something like, "What makes the Earth orbit the sun?". A classmate whispered "Oprah" to me while I blanked out, so that's the answer I gave her - Oprah makes the world go round.

    Text - 4 hours ago bondsman333 422 points Everyone was assigned a country and had to give a presentation about it. One girl was assigned an African country (can't remember which). She kept referring to the people as African Americans. After her presentation the teacher had to explain that Africans living in Africa were NOT African Americans.

    Text - jackmistro 552 points 5 hours ago Not mine but once in geography, the teacher said if we looked in our blazers we'd see where it was made. My friend then proceeded to say "Miss, is polyester a country?"

    Text - edited 2 hours ago Macluawn 470 points 4 hours ago We were learning about diseases and their effects on the body in biology class. From a list of about 20, I noticed aids reduces white blood cells and hepatitis C increases white blood cells. You can probably guess what I asked. Teacher said it was a dumb question, didnt answer it, and I was laughed out of the room. Well, a few years later I found out that hepatitis C is being researched to help cure aids Y)F

    Text - 5 hours ago jwatkin13 165 points I had issues with reading comprehension, especially with text books. The first week of AP European History we had a large reading assignment, and the teacher decided to quiz the class. But she we call on individual students and have them stand and answer questions. She called on me and asked something along the lines of who told the English to do something and I said I don't know. She had me stand their until I gave her a real answer, so I said "uhh God?".

    Text - 4 hours ago edited 4 hours ago Reeburn 79 points Probably not the dumbest, but it stuck in my memory. I was learning english at the time (it's my 2nd language and I must have been around 13). I had to read a paragraph in class. The word 'skyscrapers' appeared and I've never seen it before.

    Text - weekendsshould be 7 day 43 points 3 hours ago 4th or 5th grade. The teacher was discussing the Big Bang. I was half paying attention, but I heard her say Big Bang and raised my hand. "I remember that! When it happened, it scared me so much I fell of the couch!" She stared at me blankly for a moment while the other kids laughed. Fortunately, I think they all thought I was making a joke. However, I stupidly associated Big Bang with an actual explosion that happened at a nearby refinery earl

    Text - Nevidimka- 309 points 5 hours ago I was about 14, typical highschool blonde. I would laugh it off now but I was super embarressed back then.
