Are All Physics Teachers British..?!?!?

No. Not All physics Teachers are British. But an awful lot are. If we change the question to "Are all excellent/trustworthy physics teachers British..??!?!?!" The answer then becomes yes as far as my experiences are concerned.

I have had a British Physics teacher every year since grade 11. The only reason I had to change the question is because my current physics 'prof' is not very good / I'm not learning anything. You could say "Oh, well you are in the physics class that has no prerequisite physics! That is why you are not learning anything!" and you would be correct, however, that is a moot point. I have heard that he is actually pretty bad and really he goes into far too much detail about obvious things, like sig digs. We are in university, we had to take at least one science course to get here. sig digs and scientific notation are standard. He went over it for a whole period....

Also, he writes delta signs (the little triangle) as circles! (or at least they appear to be.)

Now you will say "Well, that's only 2 physics teachers, you can't proove anything with only 2 examples." To that I say that my physics lab coordinator is British. He made a typo in his slide the other day and some keener read it ahead of time and pointed it out. When we went to the lab yesterday and saw the slideshow there was no typo, however, there was an arrow and a picture of a pear..? He said it's a British saying he uses to remind him of a typo he had fixed. Ap'pear'antly, when something bad happens you can say "it went pear shaped." What..? I don't get it.

I really want my brother to use that phrase in his physics class and see what the reaction of his teacher is. xP (Mrs. PJ)

So, ya. I wrote that while in a Physics lecture. I have also been updating photos on facebook. The internet here seems to be working much more reliably now. =D

ttyl.
