OP

My jaw literally fell open reading this. The realness of it was too much.
I hated that. I get the same feeling when some idiot phones up Amazon etc to ask them if they'll honour an order of a misspriced item.
I've been out of high school for forever now and I still punched a wall reading this
(Pertaining to a word problem that involved the days of the week)
This kid raised her hand and sheepishly asked, "For question 3...how many days are there in a week?"
This was high school.
You might expect the class to have had some sort of audible reaction to that, but instead we were all dead silent. It was just tragic.

Not a teacher, but I once had problems with fluctuating weight, and I felt pressure to ask an intelligent question about weighing myself. I asked "How much could I expect the weight result to be skewed depending on if I've been to the bathroom or not?". It's bad enough until you realise I basically asked "How much does a poop weigh?"
With old computers being so large, how many people were needed to jump on the keyboard buttons to enter something into the computer?
Lol. I laughed, but come on, that's not a real question.......is it?
Not the teacher but this one time in 6th grade a friend of mine called me for help with science homework. It was about the early universe and the question was like how do we know things about the early universe and I said "Because there was a guy, Dr [some made up name] alive back then and he kept records." And she fucking put it down and turned it in.
Yes it is. The guy found out how stupid the question was immediately. He was so embarrassed he just left.
Not really a question, but I had a friend who earned himself a nickname first day of high school.
Basically, teacher is going around the class asking "What do you want to be when you grow up?"
Normal answers "Doctor, Astronaut, Dancer...blah blah..."
Gets to my boy Greg, who is not paying attention at all. "Greg". "Huh?" "What do you want to be?" "A moose". He definitely did not hear the "when you grow up" part.
And that's how you earn the nickname "Moose" for the rest of high school.

In my first year of college I overhear two girls talking behind me.
Girl 1: Well no they speak Spanish in Spain.
Girl 2: Really?? I thought everyone over there spoke European!
Yes she was being serious. And this is a college freshman

That reminds me. Your story is better, but I've got a similar one.
We had a long training meeting at work and a multiple choice comprehension test followed. However it was very informal and the employees were encouraged to work together on it.
The last question on the test was simply, "Did you learn today? Yes, No."
Obviously the answer is supposed to be yes, that you comprehended your training.
My buddy was pretty much completely unengaged and just fishing for answers. Not even bothering to read the questions. Turned and asked me what the answer to the last question was.
"B, no. It's no."
They promptly circled "No" and then to my surprise turned around to a group of ~7 other slackers and told them all the answer was no, and they all excitedly finished their tests as well. They then happily signed and handed all their tests to HR.
I started cracking up real hard and told my buddy what happened after they inquired about what was so funny. You just signed a paper to tell HR that you didn't learn shit, dumbass.
"Why are people homophobic? It's not like gay dudes can have sex."
And that's when, in front of the whole class, the very christian teacher had to explain they could.
I am in an Italian poetry class right now and the amount of times one of my peers has asked the professor what simple words mean from poems that were assigned three days ago to read and understand in advance makes me so sad for the professor
One of my favorite threads from the old place: "Woman with no vagina gets pregnant through oral sex"
Two that stood out for me:
At Washington Monument on school trip to DC, a classmate asked the tour guide: "how do they get the flags to all point the same direction?"
Another kid in 10th grade history class: "so why did the Germans bomb Pearl Harbor?" which prompted the teacher to get out a globe and make the kid trace a line all the way from Japan to Hawaii, and then from Germany to Hawaii to really drive the point home.

A girl opined in English when the teacher said we were going to read Macbeth 'och that is as bad as Shakespeare' lol I thought it was funny anyway.
Its more of an answer but it had me dying!!
