A friend of mine was once volunteering in an elementary school in Indiana, and witnessed this exchange: Teacher: “Okay, Johnny, spell ‘warsh.’” Johnny: “Warsh. W-A-R-S-H. Warsh.” Teacher: “No, Johnny, I’m sorry, the ‘r’ is silent.” Friend: [Facepalm]
There are 3.1 million teachers in the United States. And even if all those stories were real, the vast majority of teachers are not idiots. That being said, there were some pretty funny anecdotes there.
"Big Banana" enforced the rumor that bananas cannot grow outside of the tropics. That was still taught into the 1980s. A friend's son had to bring a bunch from their garden to class as a way to prove his teacher was wrong.
Teacher: “Okay, Johnny, spell ‘warsh.’”
Johnny: “Warsh. W-A-R-S-H. Warsh.”
Teacher: “No, Johnny, I’m sorry, the ‘r’ is silent.”
