You want me to get an article for a sentence that you think I am referencing? Do you ask all your teachers to show you articles after making a statement? It’s called giving an example. For EXAMPLE I knew this egg who fell off a wall to prove gravity I think his name was Dumpty or something.
Actually, yes, I do. Teachers teach documents—usually primary sources if possible. If a teacher was telling me a bunch of stuff that they couldn’t show me any evidence of, I would be a little suspicious.
Yes. Usually with the phrase “where can I learn more about this?” or “what kind of evidence do they have for that?” I remember doing exactly that in my 5th grade history class and had fun reading the autobiography of Benjamin Franklin when the teacher directed me there for a primary source where I could learn more. They seemed excited that a student was engaging critical thinking and seeking additional learning. If you’re comparing yourself to a teacher, maybe you could find it in yourself to see it the same way.
So, I ask you…what kind of evidence do you have for your assertions, and where can I learn more about those events you say happened?

Did you ask for article or source?
