Popular Post ESLTeacher1989 Posted December 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 2, 2022 Serious question, from your own personal experience , How do you KNOW for a fact the Earth is round? Have you it with YOUR own eyes as a round ball? First hand experience I'm 99% sure NASA lied about the Moon missions and broadcasted fake footage so why couldn't they lie about other space missions? I'm not saying - he should teach the Earth Is flat, but you shouldn't also be so stead fast in your convictions to say the Earth is round 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussieroaming Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Just explain to your children that not all teachers are intelligent and that they should only believe scientific facts that have been peer reviewed and documented in scientific journals. All and every scientific fact that is ever established are written up in white papers and are then peer-reviewed and published in scientific journals long before they ever get published in educational texts. I doubt that a "flat earth" white paper has ever been peer reviewed and published in a recognized scientific journal. It is never to early to get children to self educate. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scorecard Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 20 hours ago, NorthernRyland said: I've watched a flat earth video once and I was impressed at how detailed their case was. Some of these people may be autistic but they're higher I.Q than average. It also shows good character that they're willing to take such a wildly contrarian position and defend it. If this was a security guard maybe I would question them but this is a math teacher so they obviously have a good mind to begin with. No questions I'd rather have a high I.Q autistic math teacher than a boring do it by the books type. So how come there's no signs anywhere / any country saying: 'STOP, if you keep walking you'll fall off the end of the world! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually have a school mate who has been in space and saw he is full off sht. Perhaps topology?
