Ever had to deal with this in class?

That one person who sits in the front row, always challenging what the techer is saying, even though it's pretty clear that the teacher knows more than the student. I'm listening to one right now and she keeps going on and on and is basically wasting time. Ever had to deal with this?

Yes. Once. Years ago. They never found the body. :twisted:

Whats funny is, I have done that exact thing a few times... the only difference being I was right and the teacher(s) was wrong... once in high school and once my freshman year of college...

Yes. Partially the reason why i havent been in two weeks and its my final year two months before my exams. I hate the place and everyone in it. I'm surprised i lasted that long.

I had a teacher last semester who was constantly wrong, who I constantly corrected. It sounds a bit like your story TC

Yes, the boy tries to sound smart, when its obvious he knows nothing about what we are talking about. The teacher usually says something funny in the middle of what the kid is saying and then he ignores him.

It happened moreso in community college, because I'd say about half of the students there weren't too bright. Less in university, and it stopped altogether by my Junior year.

There's nothing wrong with challenging your superiors, I encourage it.

It's annoying when the student is not really well prepared to do a verbal battle with the teacher. Other than that, I find it quite exciting.

I do it a few times. Last year I was aruguing with my social studies teacher about how much tax you pay in Norway. I claimed 40%, he lied and tried to pass me off as wrong and said that he paid 28%.

Thankfully in Norway we have something called "the taxlist" which is a list that reveals anyones salary, how much they pay in tax and what their fortune is.

Got home, searched his name and found out he paid 38.5% tax... Boy did I have a go at him the next day :lol:

not that I can recall, prolly happened at some point in highschool though.

I do remember in my speech class we were looking at campaign advertisments because we were attempting to break down what kind of speech was in the advertisement. Meanwhile this one dude never understood that and kept trying to talk about politics and how the other side was just as bad. It was annoying.

Not really. I have a teacher this semester that keeps positing subjective claims as facts so if I wanted to be that person I could, but I realize that if I did we'd probably still be on the first chapter. I just take solace in the fact that during the few occasions when she does solicit opinions from the class it's like watching a comic die onstage. I'm not sure if this is because other students are apathetic or because, like me, they realize that arguing with such a self-righteous person in an authority position is pretty pointless, but either way it's entertaining.

I wouldn't blame the student, though, if a teacher doesn't want that to happen then perhaps they should make more objective claims. Of course for all I know, the student you're talking about is the one making the unsusbtantiated claims, but I'll just say that it's relatively easy for a teacher to make a student look like they don't know what they're talking about by merit of their position, that doesn't necessarily mean the student doesn't know what he's talking about.

There was a kid like that in my government class, he was annoying.

Yes.

She was autistic,but still annoying.

One time there was a middle aged lady sitting in the front row and she started to comment on what was being said in a very hostile way.

The cIass was Developmental Psychology and she was criticising Psychology in general. She was saying that Psychology neglects the individual, and that some of its methodology is detrimental, or the way she seemed to put it, unfair or whatever.

Now, mentioning what she said doesnt sound very stupid but she sounded like a person who is out to unveil a huge conspiracy.

Things that are annoying in cIass is when students end the professor's sentences when they might stall a bit. They act as if they are their already their assistants. Or when students nod their head continuously when a professor says something. Of course I do it too a bit in cases where I asked something and the professor responds to me, but that continuous nodding of the head some people do is annoying.

Another annoying thing is when the professor doesnt correct something a student says even though its completely extravagant, simply because its way too extravagant and a facepalm would be more suited. But that only happened in philosophy cIasses. Bleh.

Well im Homeschooled.. So no :P00-Riddick-00

I could have sworn one time you said you had a crush on your teacher =p

Seems to be one of those people in every c|ass.

Not that I can remember, though I have been that one person in the back always challenging the teacher because she clearly doesn't know what she's doing.

I hate it when students do that, even if the teacher is wrong. As long as it isn't glaringly wrong information, like they are getting serious historical facts wrong or something, there really isn't a need to and it is just a waste of time and my money.

There are a couple of others who call out the teachers on making typos - they're correct, of course, but sometimes the errors are so insignificant that we can figure it out anyway and don't need somebody to correct the teacherEJ902

I used to see this all the time in high school and it constantly bothered me. It wastes time and just makes me think of that person as more of a smartass than before. Especially if they decide to go and play dumb with it: "Oh, but I really COULDN'T tell what they meant", when it's literally one minuscule detail that you'd have to braindead to not be able to figure out.

I was one of those people as you described, I do it in my history class because.

1. Pissing people off with knowledge is funny.

2. I'm a troll in real-life.

3. I am right.
