Please, I'm trying to prove my science teacher wrong here. Last year, I heard the statement (from a teacher) that every human's brain is the exact same size. My teacher says that's hogwash, but is it hogwash?

For normal people, it's true to within a few percent. And intelligence does -not- seem to have any correlation with brain size. There are some kinds of congenital defects which prevent normal brain development, but those are fairly rare.
Ask your teacher to cite any studies published in a refereed journal to prove his/her point.
