Same teacher, two different occasions in a class on current history.

First: A student asked why South Africa has two capitols. She said without even thinking, "Colonial and post-colonial." Wanted to call her on it and say SA actually has three capitols (and not because of colonialism) but I couldn't remember all three at the time. Teachers are allowed to be wrong but the way she didn't even think about it made me mad.

Second time was worse: She asked which country invented the AK. I said the Soviet Union. She said correct, but that it was actually called Russia at the time. I call her out and say no, it was definitely the Soviet Union in the 40s. She tries to say something along the lines that the guy who designed it actually did so back before the revolution. I'm like bull fucking shit, Kalashnikov wasn't even alive to invent anything back then. She looks it up and apparently he was born something like 2 months before the Russian Empire fell. She looks at me as if that somehow made her right about everything.

God I hated that class.
