Today, while teaching my high school class about astronomy, I showed them a picture of earth from space. One girl raised her hand, and asked me what the "white things" were. In other words, clouds. FML

Well, you're a teacher. It's your job to tell them what the "white things" are.

"My high school class" implies that this person *is* the teacher and is forced to deal with a student this … brilliant at the high school level.

Some chick from my high school days asked our teacher why people have gone to the moon but not the sun. My teacher answered, "Because the sun is too hot and they would burn up." The chick replied, "So why not go at night?"
It was then that I realised just how screwed my generation is.

Also, my cousin, when he was a senior, he was learning about watergate. When he heard that nixon bugged the democrats headquarters, he asked how they got rid of them: if they called an exterminator.

Explaining that you're being sarcastic and what it's based on ruins any comedic effect it may have had. In this case it wasn't amusing regardless, so not much of a loss, eh?
OP.. haha, I love stupid people.

I'm blonde and I'm pretty smart ; but your comment was really stupid and you can't even use the excuse that you're a blonde. But OP that's not very good that they don't know that, lol

Thanks. I'm blonde. We can just ignore all my AP classes and standardized test scores and all that stuff. I guess I'm doomed for life.

You realize that by taking the comment seriously you are actually perpetuating the stereotype, no?

Maybe if you paid attention you'd know by sarcastic tone, I meant that blondes weren't stupid and that was a stereotype, but I guess you tried to make it true.

The white stuff doesnt necessarily mean they are all clouds, could be dust particles. Maybe she just wanted you to explain and there's nothing with wanting to learn.

The teacher probably is doing a good job, 11. Its not the fault of a teacher if a high school student doesn't know what a cloud is.
