My history teacher just informed the class that the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima was a 20,000 Megaton bomb!!!!! :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
For those who don't know, it was actually just a 17 Kiloton bomb and the largest atomic bomb to be detonated was a mere 50 Megatons (Tsar Bomb)..
-
I know exactly when you're in class and a teacher starts talking about a subject that you know way more than he/she does. :lol
-
lmao... Public education. two thumbs up :aok
-
wasn't the largest known nuke detonation a hydrogen bomb rather than just an atomic bomb?

See Rule #14

Indeed the Tsar bomb was a hydrogen bomb that produced a 50 MT yield.

I don't even want to get started on the 1st and 2nd fronts......

Opposite for me, my history teacher has got to be one of the smartest people I our state! He knows everything from B.C to present without taking a single look from his book

intelligence and knowledge are not the same thing.

:headscratch: Intelligence is the ability to acquire and apply knowledge

hmmm confusing it with 20,000 tonnes of TNT methinks :)

+1..unless if he thinks that 20,000 tons of TNT means its 20,000 mega tons :noid

i thought it was 30 not 20 :headscratch:

Originally it was a 100 MT, but they had to downsize it do to the size, safety of the people that that to drop it and not really sure what a bomb that size will do.

"just imagine the scene in 1941 when American soldiers were storming Utah and Iowa beach"
"well, actually sir, it was..."
"did i ask you to talk? speak out again and it's a detention"
:bhead
that was the scene in my 11th grade history class a few years ago

That may be one definition. But knowledge does not confirm intelligence or visa versa. You can be intelligent yet lack knowledge, or you can store knowledge without great intelligence.
I was only nit picking.

I had a teacher one time tell me that the Me 163 could fly for hours on rocket technology developed by the Italians.... Why don't we have this in-game!? :furious

It was just a video game that the German made. Never had the chance to develop it do to lack of funding.

I love my History class.
Because even though im 11th grade.... I practically TEACH my History class. My teacher is smart, but she is more than happy to let me have my little empire.
I am infamous around the school for starting intellectual debates with teachers. Its funny because ive one 6 out of 8 so far. The one I could not get was my math teacher and my science teacher.
Guess which subjects I failed :devil
-
:rofl when we got to the WWII time period i was practicaly teaching the class and my teacher was just like :huh because i knew so much ( i love the Military channel :D)

I kinda floored my HS history teacher and class when I went off for almost the entire class's duration three separate occasions on the books we had that only had about a page each on the Russian revolution and it's impacts on eastern Europe as it spread, the Eastern Front during WWII and the Japanese conquest of mainland China and it's impact it had on the nation leading up to the communist revolution... the highlight of those was the one day where the teacher asked me to pause for a minute before continuing while he showed a bewildered class where in the world this mystical place called Finland existed. There was no AP history available in my school, but that semester with that teacher got me on the inside with my senior student cabinet's field trip to the presidential inauguration.

technically, hydrogen bomb is an atomic bomb too.

Did that in 7th grade, gave a 45 minute presentation on Japan During World war II. It was a culture project but I turned it into something else. (Plus I think the teacher was looking stuff up) :P
-

No. See, stupid people can have a lot of knowledge, whilst Intelligent people can be very stupid.
All just depends.....
-
I called my history professor out the other day when he said the Germans never had an aircraft capable of carrying or dropping torpedoes. The difference between someone with a Phd a high school teacher is that (usually) they are open to new information. usually...
-
My teacher would humiliate me for correcting him in front of class, He was pronouncing Farah like "fooouuuh" Thanks to Mr.McCoy helping make my decision to transfer schools i now am aloud to be correct without a teacher trying to humiliate me for it.
-

True, as it uses a fission device to trigger the fusion reaction, but the hydrogen refers to its secondary unit, which generates energy and neutrons capable of then fissioning the U238 shell as well, via fusion! so most modern nukes are actually Fission-Fusion-Fission bombs... Can go into more detail if wanted, but thats the gist of it...

Yes, there's nothing like a modern teacher to bring "edjimakation" to our "Pubic Skools".
PS: pointing out the dismal failure of the Dept. of Special Ed is tantamount to stamping "hater" on your forehead.

Haters gonna hate.

Sure, especially when Johnny can't read and has no marketable skills.

True Tsar Bomb was downsized to half it's yield for safety concerns but it was still 5 MT larger than wanted due to a runaway reaction. Gotta love nuclear weapon engineering some times. :rolleyes:

im in all Honors clases (or AP) and i had a 106 average in History but every time i got a 100 my grade went down :rofl

lmao i have to use clases because of word filter

My History teacher this year informed me that Americans knew about the plans Holocaust as early as 1942 (which may be true but they weren't actively killing people yet) she then went on to say that we should have invaded Germany first and saved the Jews by dropping our troops into Germany... Yeah, that's not even a thing you can do... You just can't drop 2 million people into the heart of an enemy nation and expect them to survive with no supplies. Sorry. Even if you could get all the concentration camps how would you get them back to England? Swim? She obviously tried to justify her point further where I gave up becuase she is retarded.

She is not only retarded but is what I would call a "vulgar historian". People like that do several annoying things with history:
1. They engage in hypothetical departures from the record... (even some real historians - e.g., Liddell-hart's assertion that greater reliance on tracked vehicles would've carried Barbarosa to a successful conclusion)
2. they treat all chronologically preceding events as causal
3. they judge historical conduct by today's ethical and moral standards
Pikeys...

This is my biggest pet peeve with history teachers or really anyone. Always 2 sides to the story but the loser didn't have much of a chance to write it down!
