This one time my 4th grade teacher told the class Russia was completely in asia and i raised my hand and i said it's in europe" She said "well some of the countries from the soviet union break up went into europe. Then i looked it up and came to class the next day with it where she admitted her mistake.
A few times in elementary school. Once I got to junior high the teachers were more informed of the subjects they were teaching and I didn't really pick up any mistake unless it was just a simple careless error.
That 1 T in Bret brutha. And any sub can ususally get shown up. Its not that hard.I wonder why you would want to though? The poor sclubs just trying to make a living teaching useless stuff to kids who could care less.
My freshman Algebra teacher and I used to have heated debates about problems in his class...I was right sometimes, and he was right sometimes...He would get so mad when I was right xD
Most of the examples in this thread aren't people "outsmarting" their teachers because of higher IQ's and whatnot, it's just the teachers making a mistake that one of their students pick up on. Everyone makes mistakes.
Outsmarting your teacher would be beating him/her in a game of chess or something like that.
[QUOTE="Severed_Hand"]nope. but my buddy solved a math problem in 20minutes that the entire math department had been trying to solve for 4 years.Red_sox_fans
what was the question?
i dont know. he is extremely gifted. i wasn't taught the necessary skills to do the question.
Once, in College English II. :| She then tried to fail me.
She also tried to say I plagiarized, since we had to do a persuasive paper and had to make our opinions sound like facts in order to persuade the person. I did just that and she said I plagiarized.
The computer guy at our school is really smart and can do anything you ask him to. well one day me and my friends were messing around and made it so the computers turn off as soon as they turn on. he had no idea what the hell was going on. the next day we fixed them before he could replace them. lol
My computer class teacher was an idiot. We never tried to "outsmart" her because she was too stubborn/stupid to understand when she was wrong but we'd always laugh at the dumb **** she'd say.
My English teacher would always pick on a certain group of students becaue we were "talking and disrupting the class," so one day we vowed not to say a single word and he still picked on us so I blasted that fool (verbally). Even while I was arguing with him other students (that he never said bip to) were talking and he couldn't say anything in retalliation. We just left the class and told him to sort the mess out himself. =)
My Government teacher was always making these subtle cracks at religion and it made me so mad. One day, he goes off on this tangent about how we think monotheism is better, but Christianity isn't monotheistic, because we believe in the divinity of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. I had to stop him right there, and I lectured him (and the class) for a five minutes on the nature of the Trinity. His only response was, "ask someone from your Church, you'll see I'm right." Man, I still hate that guy.

You shouldn't hate. Hating is the same as murder. But who am I to judge?
If you mean by correcting there careless mistake then yes I have.CurfewVII
Ya, I've done that. But, I'm usually too scared too unless the teacher/professor makes a mistake that can confuse me and the whole class then I'll say something.
I did but I can't think of any specific examples. I did outsmart a public speaker though. She said honeybees shouldn't be able to fly because of how non-aerodynamic they are and with such tiny wings. I told her they can fly because their wings flap so fast that it creates a vortex above them. Discovery channel ftw.
OH! I just remembered one. My Chem 1 recitation teacher was an idiot. He tried telling us that Carbon-13 was the most abundant isotope of Carbon and that it was used in carbon dating among other numerous fallacies. The worst was probably the first day of class, he tried telling us that atomic number was the number of electrons in the atom and protons only affected the charge.
it happens. thats not saying i am in any way more capable of performing their task than they are, ofcourse. I have a bloated ego, but that would be pushing it.
Yeah once, in algebra. She made a mistake on one of the problems and most of the class made the same mistake. So she told me I was wrong and to go do it again, and I did and got the same answer I did before and then she got mad at me because she said I wasnt trying so she sent me out of class. The next day I come in and she apologizes for sending me out because she found out she was wrong.
