Teachers make mistakes too

One of my students asked me how many sides does a heptagon have?

and I answer ummm it has 10 sides?

He goes aren't you supposed to know this stuff you're a teacher! I said I'm bad a math, hence why the other teacher in the room is teaching it. He was in such disbelief when I told him that the look of shock on his face was priceless.

(and a heptagon has 7 sides I found out)

When I do not know something, I tell them - "I don't know, but I will find out for you."

Re: Teachers make mistakes too

I make mistakes ALL THE TIME!!!! Most of the time they don't even pick up on it.
But it's true sometimes it's like these kids expect us to know everything there is to know.

I agree. It shows them that we are all not perfect!
