No, I didn't. The teacher has the power of the grade and that grade will have an affect on their lives. Its best to suck up to the a$$hole until after you get the grade. Then later you can go back and set the record straight.
I tell my kids that if the teacher tells them it's raining outside to look out the window and find out for theirself whether it is or not.
I start my children off in questioning what I say and this leads them very naturally to question what the teacher says. But I go farther and I am aware of what papers they bring home and use them as examples for debating.
