When was the first time you realized that a teacher cannot always be right?Robert Iodice, Worked in Higher Education for decadesWritten Jun 25, 2016In first grade:Our teacher asked, "Who has a birthday in January?" and I raised my hand. She said, "Is your birthday in January, Robert?"I responded, "No, but my father's is!"With a stern tone she scolded, "I meant 'Who in this class has a birthday in January?'"A little annoyed I replied, "Well, then, maybe you should have said that?" at which point she promptly ordered me out of the classroom! Apparently this teacher had real problems expressing what she really meant. By ordering me out of her classroom she actually wanted me to wait for her in the hallway so that she could lecture me - BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT SHE SAID! As a result I left and walked home, upset to think that I had barely started school and now I was thrown out, so what was I going to do with the rest of my life now that school was off the table! After I got home my mother explained how the teacher was wrong. (The school had already called her, the police had been notified to "be on the look-out" for me, and the entire eighth grade had been let out early to canvas our town.) It was, to say the least, a real eye-opener and a cautionary tale that I remembered from then on - Sometimes the people who are supposed to 'know', DON'T!
