I am not very happy. I am a year 11 at a top school in Australia, and my IT teacher does not know her stuff!! Listen to this and tell me if you guys think any of its correct..

She believes that floppy disks have 1.44 WITH system files, and 1.32 WITHOUT
She believes that the standard CD-R disk holds 750MB
She believes that DVD's hold 3GB-7GB
She believes that DVD's are only interactive because they are dual layered
She believes that floppy disks get viruses really easy over an other storage

Please tell me if you guys believe any of these to be true

close enough for government work :p

in terms of removeable storage, I'd buy it.

edit: what is the class for? some of the best programmers I know are totally clueless when it comes to anything hardware-related and viceversa.

I hope "bagging out" doesn't mean what I think it means. Which I'm not even sure what I think it means, but tell me it means something else. :Q

She is my 'Information and Project Management Teacher', which is the continued subject from 'Information Technology'. Just really annoys me, I sit their in class and just think to myself, ' I could teach this class better than her'

Update: She believes that Laser Printers are crap because they have dedicated memory as most bubblejets do not. She believes that laserjets cannot print large documents because they have their own memory, and that they cant print documents with borders, she believes these to be 'limitations' of the laser printers

Ask her why big corporations, scratch that, every decent business, only uses laser printers.

I don't know why you guys are all asses to your IT teachers? Just let them be, it's easier that way. It's much easier to not be a wise-ass and not piss off your teachers.

Exactly, she just doent get it, I mean, obviously my school uses laser printers. When she said that she used to be head of the IT department 10 years ago, I laughed my head off!

That, and if you argue with her about this stuff, then you should know that you're arguing about something no one finds particularly important...

Oh that's nothing. I remember when taking my Novell class, we'd ask our teacher what to do during installation and he's say stuff like, "I don't know, pick something". Guy was clueless. Came so close to demanding my money back.

I havnt once made a comment or made gesture towards her at all; as far as she knows, she thinks that i am taking it all in and learning. But the point is, she may be the teacher, but is teaching things that isnt true, which defeats the whole point, in fact it is actually worse than learning at all

Didn't even have to bother reading. This is exactly why I didn't choose a technology major: so I wouldn't be driven to suicide by a dickhead CS professor before I could actually start working in the field. Looks like my plan worked. Star 1, Life 0. :cookie:
