There's no reason for a teacher to respond in detail or at length to a
student question that is inappropriate for the class. If I were teaching a
science class in the public schools and we were discussing evolution and a
student attempted to raise "creationism" as an alternative, I would simply
say "This is a science class and not the place to discuss religious
beliefs." It's no cop-out to deflect the inappropriate.


Correct. I had a short fiction class in college. Key word: fiction. One
student decided to write a non-fiction article about economics. We had to
read our work in front of the class. Within a minute or so, the prof
realized it was non-fiction, and told him to stop, that he wasn't following
the assignment. He protested, saying that it was an opinion piece. The prof
said... in any case, it's not appropriate. End of discussion.

So, you replied to it both times. I guess you never made a mistake. What a
hero.
