Today, my science teacher was trying to explain why Santa is real. Now, i will start by saying that i am in the eighth grade, and at this point everybody knows that he isn't real. But, she continued to show us videos, give us class assignments, and threaten us if we didn't give valid answers to our work sheets. Now what im wondering is, why would a public school teacher try to convince a class full of eighth graders that a made up holiday figure is real, and can deliver presents to all of the children in only 31 hours. Have your teachers done anything similar flood?
