Today, my students presented their projects on genetics to the rest of the class. One student told the class that salted and unsalted peanuts were an example of genetic variation. She was serious. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my teacher was giving a lecture about human genetics and how they are passed on to children. She projected a large picture of a baby on to the screen in the front of the room. I then joked about how this ugly baby must have some very unattractive parents. It was her baby. FML
Today, I had to teach my 13-year-old sister that sugar and salt don't, "cancel each other out to make the taste neutral". FML
Today, after repeatedly telling my partner's family that our daughter is allergic to peanuts, his grandfather decided to feed her one, to "see if she really is allergic." FML
Today, I said that I wasn't expecting someone to say salt made a food sweet. My friend then decided to explain what salt is, a flavor enhancer, and "like when it's on the rim of a Margarita." Really? We're all in college and I'm the only one who keeps their grades up. I know what the fuck salt is. FML
Today, my biology professor was giving a lecture to everyone and used me as an example. For what? Traits men are repulsed by in potential mates. FML
Today, my son came home from school with a catastrophically bad report card. When I asked him for an explanation, he replied, "I'm hesitating between 'family environment' and 'heredity'." FML
Today, as a science teacher, I did a science experiment in front of a class. One of my students asked me if it was "photoshopped." He was being serious. FML
Today, I’m getting a very interesting demonstration of how genetics work: I have inherited all my dad’s health issues, plus those from my mom, plus a bunch of new ones that belong exclusively to me. FML
Today, I got a call from my daughter's school. Apparently, she was learning about the food pyramid and when she was asked to identify what she had eaten the day before, she said "dog food". FML
Today, I had to tell my teenage son that no, his knowledge of the English language was not passed down to him genetically. FML

be a better teacher?

As someone with a Master's in Molecular Biology I can vouch for the stupidity level of students even at the university level.

White pepper and black pepper would have been worse I believe...

they learn What the teacher tells them.

A 16 year-old classmate of mine asked our Biology teacher, in a very serious manner, if water has DNA. FYL OP but, as you can see, it could be worse!

It does, if you spit in it!

I think she's more concerned with the salted nuts that rest on her chin.

It is your class, so what have you been teaching? :-) Extra lessons or stems cells in the brain cavity might make a good class project.

I'm pretty sure this dooms our future as a species.

I just presented a report on this. Seeing this, I realize mine wasn't the worst. XD
