what’s the best way to make sure something is correct without embarrassing/annoying the teacher? I asked a question to a teacher and he was saying the opposite and I was like ‘are you sure??’ but I didn’t want to take it further and make a scene though afterwards I googled it, checked in the textbook and saw that he was wrong. And it feels like I’m undermining their authority which I’m really not setting out to do. Thank you in advance for your advice :)

I would just talk to your teacher privately saying that you were interested and researched further into the topic, and found contrasting information.  Explain that you’re seeking clarification.  Hope this helps!
