Closest I got to that was when I was a 3rd grader. I did a book report on "The Sinking of the Bismarck ". The teacher told me airplanes don't carry torpedoes.When my son was in grade school (he's now 21) he got in trouble for arguing with a teacher because she insisted that Germany did not take part World War II. My wife had to stop me from going to that school and starting my own argument.
