I believed it was stock knowledge- since you stock the knowledge in your brain, but recently my teacher told me that it was actually supposed to be stack knowledge- you stack the knowledge in your brain.
I'm confused, everyone of my classmates say she's wrong- but I still think she may be right, since she hardly ever commits an error.
Which is it?

Don't be so sure that your teacher is always right, because then you run the risk of turning into a sponge and just soaking up the knowledge that your teacher gives you and then the quality of what you absorb is only ever going to be as good as what your teacher is giving you and then your education is dependent on the quality of your teacher - which to a degree is always the case anyway, but a student that questions the teacher and is inquisitive by nature is always going to learn more because it'll be the student's own investigation and inquisitive nature that guides your learning experience and that is ideal because you are learning how to learn and that is a skill that you cannot absorb, but must acquire.
Now... to answer your question, I believe the correct term is "stock knowledge", and that is not in the sense of stocking up knowledge - or stacking up knowledge for that matter - it is used in the sense of stock meaning 'grouping'. For example stock knowledge about issue A, would be basic standard knowledge about issue A.
Well done for questioning your teacher and it's great that you hold you teacher in such high regard but please realise that no one knows everything about everything and all humans are bound to get things wrong at some point in time. Your job as a student is to keep questioning and acquire the skills to find your own answers.
Good luck!!

Yes it's a stack of knowledge from the idea that the more that you have is likened to a 'stack' of objects getting higher. If you think about it 'stock' is items that you have available for sale. This can be high or low and varies. Also you can have good or bad or damaged stock.

You can use either if you wish however "stock" is the more common in U.K. English. The word knowledge does not have a collective noun in the way there is a "heard of cattle" or a "flight of ducks" for example and so you are free to use any descriptive term you wish as long as it is understandable.

"Stock" refers to taking an inventory of what you have, "Stack" refers to accumulating. One is past and one is present.
"I'm taking stock of what I've learnt.' ' I am stacking information to use later, or to do well in my life."

Stack,.. :) She's right, you're mislead. Go admit it to her that you were wrong, (hard to do), but she'll surely forgive and understand you. :)
