@Spooky Mask: he was probably about to explain there is no relation between the dominance of a gene versus how much people has the gene. My own bio teacher loves to remind us that everytime he can.

For example, the gene to have 5 fingers is a recessive gene. I dont think I need to explain how widespread it is, even if it's recessive. .

Huh, so is six fingers dominant then or recessive to five finger gene? tongue

Dominant. The "dominance" of an allele just means that if there are two alleles at a particular genetic locus, the dominant allele is expressed while the recessive one isn't. (We'll leave the talk of co-dominance and incomplete dominance and blah blah blah genetics crap to another time.) It doesn't have anything to do with the frequency of the allele in the population.

To use another example, the O allele for blood types is recessive to the A and B alleles, but people with Type O blood (homozygous recessives) outnumber those with Type A, B or AB because the frequency of the O allele is so high.

My math teacher this year is extremely ghetto. Seriously, she cusses all the time, usually at other students. She also tells wacky stories about her violent youth to the whole class. It is hilarious.

Though despite all this, she's pretty nice. Not a bad teacher at all.

She also compared a Hitler Youth rally to a Justin Bieber concert.

My maths teacher once said maths was easy and fun.

And I meant stuff about how dominant/recessive genes work and what alleles are, not what six finger gene is

This is the same guy who worked at Club Med in Israel as a grad student and, dressed head to toe in Club Med gear, was asked by Israeli Customs what his profession was.

Needless to say, Israeli Customs officials have even less sense of humour than American ones. He almost lost his job because he missed work for like a week.

Boy oh boy, that guy sounds like a riot. [lol]

I should find quotes from one my methodology teacher.

The man alternates between super-serious mode and 'so-wacky-it's-awkward' with no discernable pattern about it.

I can't blame most teachers for certain things they say. Most likely because kids and teenagers can be horrible twats. tongue

You just need to hit the kids you know won't tell.

One of the supply teachers at school is universally considered awesome, even by the "bad" kids. She frequently makes threats of violence, which are not empty threats as one boy in my class learned (he was hit on the head by her), and the only time she got warned was when a year 7 who did not know of her awesomeness complained. Everyone else just won't tell because she's good fun and the violence/threats thereof are not too harsh, not in anger, and not done to those she know won't take it well. But still. She's great.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

Put that phone away, unless you're playing with something else down there

Said by my 9th Grade English teacher to a male classmate who was trying to use his phone to cheat on the vocabulary section of a quiz about The Secret Sharer. She denies that it was meant as an innuendo, but we all know better :P

Guys, guys, stop annoying each other like that. If you want to do that, just get married. Or get a civil union, if the government doesn't pass the bill soon.
