Comment on Anon describes experience
TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 3 weeks agoAll my teachers were fine with it honestly :3 at least after primary school… if you corrected them they might’ve given you extra credit
But the general notion of saying something correct and people saying that that’s wrong, and not knowing why still stands

You had an extraordinary school experience.

Maybe :3 I think my school wasn’t that highly ranked nationally, but I don’t know how others were in terms of the teachers so can’t compare… It definitely had a lot of other issues tho haha

I asked my science teacher why and how the periodic table was setup like it was, I got “that’s how it’s setup up”
But why, there as to be a reason
That’s just the way they made it
Yeah because they have to have gone by something what is that something
That’s just the way they did, stop asking questions (please don’t fucking learn in here)
Godamn that pissed me off.

Really? We got a detailed breakdown of why the periodic table is the way it is

Yeah, turned me off to science at that age too which sucks because I was pretty into it.

in case you still care: the periodic table is arranged primarily by the chemical properties of its elements (mainly electronegativity, i.e. how much energy it takes to add/remove an electron to/from the atom) and also by their mass.

Too proud to say “I don’t know, I’ll look it up and tell you tomorrow”.

Yeah, that wouldve been a great opportunity to get me further interested.
I have never been in a job where “I don’t know” is an acceptable answer, but I’ve always been in a job where “I don’t know, but I can find out for you” always is.
