When you prove a Teacher/Professor Wrong

Pretty much this. If you know he's wrong, that's all you need. You don't need to embarrass him or her in front of the entire class. At least not until he's embarrassing himself in front of the class by getting the wrong answers.

When the teacher is wrong, you SHOULD correct him. It shows him that you accualy pays some attention and that you accualy bothered to learn something.. Anyway, if you don't correct him, he and the rest of the class who doesn't know it's wrong, will live their life believing it's true. By correcting your teacher, not only do you save them the embarresment of arguing with someone who's right, just to be proven wrong, you give them the oppertunity to accualy get the answer right on a test, if it ever should come up, which could affect them getting a better grade. Imagine if they answered wrong because you never corrected the teacher, and because of thhis they JUST didn't make it to the job, or next school they wanted to?

TLDR; Not correcting the teacher, THAT is the dick-move.

Erm, between being the moron who argues with the teacher and letting another moron have it out with him or her and letting them get in trouble, I'd rather go the latter route. It's not a dick move if the teacher is already a dick, pal. Especially if there's no need to do it, because its so obvious, or if the teacher will obviously figure it out on their own within the next minute or two. It would be understandable if a teacher told us a blatant lie, but if they make a mistake, leave it to them to fix it themselves. They're teachers, and they're capable of fixing their own mistakes. They're supposed to know their **** . If not, they have no business teaching in the first place. You can justify being a dick all you want, but a dick move is a dick move, and 9 times out of 10, the circumstance of correcting a teacher makes you look like a dick.

Well, from what I can understand from what you're writing here, I can only guess you're talking about misspellings. Like, I guess I have alot of mistakes when it comes to my gramamr. These mistakes, I agree, you don't have to correct. I'm talking about for example if your teacher write down a formula on the blackboard, and it's wrong,m youSHOULD correct it. The teacher probably know the right formula, and just doesn't think about it. He may even erase it without noticing, because for him it's so obvious. But for the poor bastard who write down the formula and is going to use it for his homework, or on a test, it's a big ******* deal.

What you said about teachers should know their **** , or they shouldn't be teachers at all? Well, being a teacher isn't a dance on roses. Late nights correcting tests, essays etc. can be goddamn tiering from time to time. The next day he might be so tired in his head that he just doesn't realize what he wrote, or said wrong.

Here where I come from, it's a huge lack of teachers, it's getting so bad that they just hire whoever they can that knows a bit about the theme. I have experienced so many bad teachers, who doesn't know **** about what they are supposed to teach us. We had an english teacher once (english isn't our native language..) and he couldn't pronounce wondow right. He didn't know how to spell it. He didn't know **** , and I do belive he teached us alot wrong. Now this is just one example, but you should get my point.

So when it comes to correcting a teacher, it's the same as correcting anyone else. If an engineer write down a number on a schematic, it might just be enough for the mistake to be deadly. That mistake should be corrected ASAP. I know this is a huge difference from a formula being written down wrong, but it might help you understand how important SOME mistakes can be..

And you don't have to be a dick about it either, just raise our hand, and say polite,"I think you might have written that wrong, sir.."

Well that's a completely different story. That's not even correcting, that'd be considered helping the teacher out. At least, I wouldn't consider that correcting a teacher. I mean, I would think there's a big difference between, "Excuse me sir, I think that you may have written that wrong," and "I believe that's incorrect, sir."

But in all honesty, if you've experienced such garbage teachers, then yes, you should realize the big difference between a good teacher who makes a few mistakes and a bad teacher who should not be teaching what he or she is teaching, because as you said, being a teacher isn't a walk in the park. You only need to correct one of them. But of course it seems that depends on a certain point of view.

I, personally, wouldn't correct either type of teacher. A good teacher makes obvious mistakes that'll be corrected one way or another, a bad teacher makes mistakes that everyone knows not to learn from (at least the smart ones do, because you gotta be a really bad teacher to be like that). I'm not concerned about others as long as I know better. It sounds terrible, I know, but I'm just another student, not a teacher. I don't have the time or patience to keep track of whether 30 other students have studied enough to know when a teacher has made a big mistake, I've got five to six other classes that I may or may not have to go through the same situation in.

If you can't do that, then you're just a walking duche...

I will wipe you the **** out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my ******* words. You think you can get away with saying that **** to me over the Internet? Think again, ****** . As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re ******* dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little **** . If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your ******* tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will **** fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re ******* dead, kiddo.
