Hi, Advicenators. Normally I make up my own mind, but I need a little help. If you're going to be sarcastic or rude, don't bother.

I have a problem with my Sunday School teacher. You see, I honestly believe that I have more Biblical knowledge than her. I know that sounds conceited.. but it just seems like it! Yesterday (Easter Sunday) our "lesson" was on miracles. This is what the conversation was like:
Teacher:Who can preform miracles?
Teacher:Only Jesus can preform miracles! No one else can!
Me:*raises hand*
Teacher:yes?
Me:But Jesus isn't the only one who can preform miracles.. Paul, Elija, Elisha, the Devil, the Twelve Disciples.. they all preformed miracles..
Teacher:No, no, no. That's not what I said..
Me:You said "Only Jesus can preform miracles".
Teacher:Anyway, girls, as you see.. blah, blah, blah.
At this time, I'm feeling pretty screwed over since she just blew me off. All of that conversation is an exact quote. This was the third time that I was able to correct her (and the third time I got blown off) yesterday alone! It happens every Sunday.. she doesn't know the lesson, she doesn't know what she's talking about.. It makes me mad!
I know that I am much, much more mature Spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and in my knowledge of the Bible and Christ.. (not trying to sound conceited..) but the lessons are never fufilling! I could gather more from my eight-year old sister's Sunday School lesson. Get this: I was the only girl in my class of seventh and eighth grade girls that knew what the Rapture was! Oh my gosh! How dumb?!
So, I was considering talking to my youth pastor about this. I'm naturally shy, and I don't like to put myself in that position.. but this is so annoying.. and a waste of my Sunday morning! So.. do you think I should speak to my youth pastor about this?
PS - I don't really get along with my teacher, I'm nice to her... but we don't get along. :\
PPS - Sorry it's so long! Thanks in advance..
You really need to talk to your youth pastor and maybe even your pastor. Write letters and make some phone calls.
This Sunday school teacher is pathetic; it's pretty obvious what the problem is. I know of people like this in my "former" church. You just need to make your voice heard. See if anyone else has the same opinion. Or you could go to someone else's class if it's that much of a problem. Pretty bad when you think your Sunday morning is wasted. Apparently talking to the teacher isn't going to help you since she doesn't listen to you as it is, so you need to take it to someone in higher authority, as you have already deducted.
Is your teacher even genuinely saved? Pray hard.

You're right.. I know you're right, Nathan. (you probably guessed, yup yup..) But I dread talkin' to Cory about it.. not that I'm afraid of Cory.. it's just weird when I have to say 'I don't get along with my Sunday school teacher and she doesn't teach well at all.' .. thanks, you made me feel better.
