I'm 13 and I got sent to detention friday for asking a question my science teacher couldn't explain
Why did you do that to your teacher?
Because logically I'm aware this is just an echo.
You shouldn't be punished for asking legitimate questions in class that pertain to the subject. Talk to your guidance counselor and find out what happened so that you both can learn from the error.
My science teacher isn't smart and I have a right to question them.
It sounds like you were trying to embarrass him instead of seeking knowledge. Next time, be genuine about your questions and your teacher will respect that.
