So one of my teachers is forcing us to make a website for a project and she really has to learn what she's talking about before she says one more thing coz I finna slap her.

So she was telling us how to embed an interactive Google map to out weebly (kill me), and she, I kid you not, said this while copying the embed thing: "So guys, this is actually like you're coding so that's cool". I know it was just one small comment, but it made me so mad that:

She used the verb, "coding",
She thinks that HTML is a programming language,
And that she thinks copying and pasting is coding.

Well, okay, that last one may be correct on her part.

    Don't worry too much, dude, just chill :) most of the teachers are trying to ease students into things, or are just following the lowest denominator, ie dumbing things down as much as possible and then taking it from there.

    I do understand how this can feel frustrating for the brighter students out there.

    Imagine if you are a total noob in college and the teacher is like "this isnt fucking coding you noobs! This is the easy part wait until you actually start writing some code! Get ready to cry yourself to sleep every night thinking about suicide because you can't cut it!" Nah dawg students, especially very early on need the motivation

    HTML can be considered a programming language: https://youtu.be/4A2mWqLUpzw (the guy in the video gives awesome explanations in CS-related things btw).
    Funnily enough, you can get HTML to do conditions with frames and someone actually proved that when combined with CSS it is a turing complete language.

    Sounds like she doesn't have a background in this at all? If you want to score some brownie points, talk to her after class and offer to help out.
