Remember kids intelligence lead jobs don’t mean intelligent people the opposite is true also

I cannot make sense of this comment. Perhaps someone can sprinkle in some punctuation?

I remember a 7th grade teacher making fun of my computer knowledge as I had made some fun adjustments to the qbasic gorillas game. She said “you act like you know more than anyone else does” trying to shame me in front of the class. My response? “That’s because I do.” As flatly as I could. She was silent.

I have software developer in my title now.

Did you ask them to fix your title yet?

Aaah appealing to my imposter syndrome I see. Noice!

Thank you for the laugh.

Even funnier. I am not a software develoer. It’s odd that my keyboard won’t even let me write it that way without extra effort.

Got failed for a programming test. Discovered during the practice tests that it was a vm that would run your code for a variety of test cases. Turns out it was a linux vm and said test cases and answer where in a big plain text file that was accessible by the program when being run. Wrote a universal solver that simply read the file checked which case was being checked and returned the correct answer. Got given zero for cheating.

qarbone ,

I mean, yes. You were cheating.

The fact that it was simple to cheat doesn’t make it not cheating.

Thanks for the story tho

I had to write blueJ tests for a class that my wife randomly volunteered me for. So in an hour I threw together ten really easy hello world type tests that the kids world submit to web cat.

The instructions all said don’t just print like 4 if it was asking you to add 2+2 then return and print the sum.

All the kids got it right by printing and returning the correct answers but my wife’s coworker at the library had an aneurism when they realized they could just print the 4.

Although it was cheating, IMO they should at least have given you credit for ingenuity.

You have the mindset of a proper hacker (the old fashioned definition of course).

As someone (I can’t remember who) said, the best way to get something done is to assign it to a lazy but genius person.

ID411 ,

You do get credits ingenuity. In the Ingenuity Exam.

this was Linux class

conciselyverbose ,

They should have said, good job, now do the actual assignment.

Because clearly you aren’t learning the relevant material that way.

Had an English teacher do kinda this to me once. We presented our research paper to the class, teacher tells me the birthday of the dude I’m presenting on, I correct her like; “bitch, dis my mf research paper! I know my dudes fuckin birthday, it the one damn slide I memorized!” (Paraphrasing, but the meaning was there, expertly and subtly disguised of course.) She then proceeds to tell me I must be wrong and failed my whole project, my magnum opus of eighth grade.

P.S. Frank Lloyd Wright was born June 8, 1867 in Wisconsin, not 1701 like some cranky, funny smellin old English teacher insists upon

Viking_Hippie ,

…she was wrong by MORE THAN A CENTURY AND A HALF and failed YOU on that basis??

That’s the kind of self-righteous incompetence you’d expect from a Republican politician, not someone who’s enduring crap wages and constant vilification from bigoted parents out of the love of passing on knowledge!

If that’s what you want, it’s easier to just get an MBA and go the corporate route. Easier still to become a cop, of course.

Wtf? Didn’t Wright do most of his most famous work in the 20th century? Did your teacher think he was a vampire?

Frank Lloyd Wright (1701-1959). Frank Lloyd Wright was an omniscient demimortal techno mage who took up architecture in the late 19th-century at the age of 186 after discovering the eldritch art of soul drafting. He began designing and building structures across the United States with the intention of harnessing the psycho-emotional energy of the US population. Many of his architectural plans plainly display the geometrical interplanar-harvester elements, in comparison to architects such as Ivo Shandor (cult of Gozer) who felt the need to obfuscate the intent of their structures. ^[citation needed]^ Wright’s final design was commissioned from archmage Norman Lykes, who trapped Wright’s life force in a soul stone embedded in a Mission-style rocking chair. Wright’s legacy was commemorated by logistical clerics in a postage stamp in 1966 and in 1970 by Bardic duo Simon & Garfunkel.

Had something similar in an english class back in 6th grade (Brazil, 12yo students) - I knew some english words better than her and I wish I was making it up. She would say to class that checkers is chess game, call muffins doughnuts and vice versa (and say it like “dougonoot”). Of course, she always ignored my corrections and told me I was wrong whenever she could, like with checkers (she probably assumed that because “checkered” translates to “xadrez” despite the meaning there being for the texture/stamp, an adjective, rather than the game “xadrez”, a noun)

So, one bright day, she gives us an exam where the first 10 or so questions are just True or False according to the text. I read the text, I read the questions and notice that they don’t reference the text at all. I quietly ask her if the text is right, because several words being referenced in the question are nowhere in the text and she just dismisses me, “Just read and you’ll find the answers”, so I sit back slightly pissed and do what every other student did: randomly guess. Next week, we receive the exams back with our grades, another kid asks the teacher if she could show where in the text the answers for the T/F questions were. She starts reading and realizes her mistake. “Sorry class, I forgot the second half of the text” - which was a total lie because “second half” implies that at least something would have used the first half. I guess she learned how to revise her exams, because the others we had during the year were fine.

Anyway, if you ever wonder why most Brazilians know jack shit about English, it’s because the mandatory English classes are fucking shit. My conspiracy theory headcanon is that this is on purpose to sell extracurricular English courses

I wrote an essay in high school in which I compared Hamlet and Horatio to Starsky and Hutch or Batman and Robin. I was saying that Hamlet was trying to solve his father’s murder and Horatio was his sidekick. The substitute teacher didn’t like it so I complained to the regular teacher when he got back.

Started in a new school. Had to begin attending before I actually moved to the new house. First class the teacher says I am to spend the first week observing the class, and getting an idea how it functions. I will not be required to participate, or do work, until the start of the next week. At the end of that week he calls me over to his desk and, in a clearly annoyed tone, asks me why I had done no work that week. So I told him he said I wasn’t supposed to, not until the upcoming Monday. He then tells me I should have taken the initiative to do work anyway, even when told I didn’t have too. This showed I was lazy, and then he said I was being a smart ass for “using his words against him” for reminding him what the instruction, he gave me, was.

So I said, if you tell people not to do something, don’t expect them to do it. I can’t just know that they want the opposite of what is asked for. So he said he is gonna call my parents and tell them all about this. Then he asks for my phone number. I didn’t know it, we got into the new house the night before and all we had was suitcases, boxes, and mattresses on floors. So he tells me that trying to hide it won’t help, the office will have my number. So I tell him to get it from them, as I didn’t know the phone number yet. He calls my mom, and tells her “You know, your son acted like he didn’t know his own phone number, like that would stop me from calling” and my mom informs him that the phone was activated 2 days ago, and that I don’t know it. Then she said he huffed and then said “well the problem is, he didn’t do any of the work this week”. and she then told him I was informed not to, in fact, he put it in writing, and sent the outline of what he expected from me, home, on my first day.

This motherfucker held a grudge until the day I no longer saw him again. He even lied about the situation to other teachers, so when I started their classes, I got a lot of “Oh, Mr. Heckman (real name, fuck him) told me about you” in a sardonic tone. This started a 2.5 year shit storm with this school, that ended with them paying my tuition to go somewhere else.

GEDs are a cake walk and if you get one in your early teens, it actually looks impressive.

Something like this happened to me as well, but it didn’t directly impact my grades. In the 7th grade my teacher accidentally locked herself out of the shitty filing cabinet that was standard issue in every classroom. I had learned from my cousin a couple of really basic Lockpicking techniques, just raking and jiggling, nothing with actual pin picking.

I told her I could try to open it with a paperclip and she was like “yeah okay sure lol” totally sarcastically. I get down there, bend open a paperclip, and start trying to jiggle or rake the pins up. This process looks a bit like I’m struggling to do anything, so she immediately goes “see? You can’t actually open it”. I told her I just needed to get the mechanism to catch the pins, she became completely insufferable, and started making fun of me for being a 7th grader who knew a 10 dollar word like “mechanism”. I honestly wish I was making this part up but for the rest of that school year she joked about me… knowing the word “mechanism”. What a fuckin’ nerd amiright?

Anyway I got the cabinet open after maybe a minute of fucking around with the lock and she barely even thanks me at all, mostly just acts sheepish because she probably never believed I could do it, and suddenly realized that a student could break into her cabinet where she keeps her teaching materials (not that I ever would have)
