teacher calls me dumb for believing the earth is flat

okay thanks for the advice guys, just one more thing. what should i do if she doesn't wanna make an account. i dont wanna give up on her and i really wanna help her.

Let me ask you.  What sort of a teacher is this?

this is the same teacher that saved my ass from failing math last-year because i fucked up on the math quiz near the end of the year so she boosted my mark up so i pass by 5 percent. we talk a lot in class too so i feel like i need to repay her or somewhat feel like i owe her for watching out for me

You should ask her if he really likes the 69 thing or if you kind of force him into it every time.

....and gave her facts....

I am also curious what those "facts" were.

Dude, dude. Calm the fuck down. Look, I'm just saying everyone lies and a lie is not a big deal, you lie, right? I'm just saying that lies are everywhere and there's nothing you can do about it. I don't work for NASA, But I would like to, when I grow up.

You make it sound as if it is a perfectly normal thing for a government agency to lie to you and be deceitful and that it is us who are being unreasonable by expecting an amount of integrity that is much higher that the standards that we are held to.  How dare we get upset about being lied to by a government agency that is funded by our tax dollars!

I still stand behind my suggestion that the best way to get through to your teacher is through the language of mathematics, which is why y=R is a great way to explain the earth's shape.

However, I fully support getting your teacher to debate our resident Advanced Flat Earth Theorist, Sandokhan. She'll have her work cut out for her - he's done his homework!

Sandokhan and Tom Bishop are frauds that are using your weak minds for their own jollies.  I would be more than happy to have this debate with either of them, but they just run away like the cockroaches they are.

What is this kid going to do when his teacher comes back with real math that shows that the earth is in fact round?

As his math teacher will instantly recognize, when graphed it is a flat line which is a pretty good representation of the shape of the earth. It might seem simplistic to you, but it sounds like his teacher is someone for whom we must keep our explanations exceedingly simple.

Suit yourself. I said Y=R was an expression that could be used to demonstrate the shape of the flat earth. (Flat line) I have no idea how to put it into a context which is meaningful for you.
