>>13202378In fourth grade, I had a teacher who taught that heavier objects fell at different rates. I knew that wasn't true and had already seen the video where the astronaut on the moon dropped a hammer and a feather and they fell at the same rate.
So I spoke up and said that wasn't true, and that objects accelerate at the same rate. So the teacher told me to pick up a book in one hand, and a piece of paper in the other, and drop them. So I had to stand up in front of the class and do the experiment, and of course the book hit the ground first.
So then I took a second piece of paper, crumpled it into a ball, and dropped a flat piece of paper and a crumpled piece of paper.
"If they weigh the same, then according to you, they should hit the ground at the same time."
I dropped them, and the crumpled paper hit the ground first, of course.
I was sent to the office for talking back.
