Mike Lorrey is said to have said:

"...........................whereupon I stood up
and told them they were wrong and proceeded to explain what really
caused the seasons. I got told to shut up and I was sent to the
principals office... and people wonder why I don't have much respect for
teachers in america..."

You too?

I got sent home from school.......fifth grade i think......cause I
stubbornly insisted that Pluto WASN'T the 9th planet....THEN (about
1956....pluto has a very eccentric orbit...it was the 8th planet from the
sun at that time....probably still is come to think of it)....

Ditto the loss of credibility for teachers...
