Too quick ones
When taking demographic stats, as is the annual tradition, a teacher enquiring as to language spoken at home refused to believe one poor student who said her mother spoke Irish at home, claiming that the Irish just spoke English with an accent. This teacher's name was Miss O'Rourke.

In an exam in high school science, the questioned posed: Hydrogen can exist in which states: Solid, Liquid, Gas. Marking all three, I was some what perturbed to have it marked incorrect. The teacher insisting that there was no liquid hydrogen. Pursuing the matter, I pointed out that liquid hydrogen is the fuel used in rockets. He conceded that might be true, but it wasn't in the course, and it wouldn't make much difference to my mark. Man's a squidging retard.

I got marked down on a similar question
for including Plasma as a state of matter.

Apparently, according to my science teacher (in 1998), Plasma's only found in Star Trek and other bits of science fiction...

They forgot metallic hydrogen too
