I tried looking it up but all my search engine came up with were those stupid BS "Doomsday scenarios" that I really find offensive as of it really discredits the ancient Mayan civilization and their knowledge to predict astronomical events.
So which planets are going to be aligned on that date?
And could you please give me a website that says it too (I tried looking up NASA's but even they talk about the doomsday sh*t).
Thanks.

I don't know what alignment your teacher is talking about. The term "alignment" isn't even a technical astronomy term. Most people seem to think it means some planets and the Sun being on the same line. Mercury, Venus and the Sun will be about on the same line then, as seen in the first source. But they are lined up more exactly a few days earlier, around Dec. 18, as seen in the second source.

According to NASA:
There are no planetary alignments in the next few decades, Earth will not cross the galactic plane in 2012, and even if these alignments were to occur, their effects on the Earth would be negligible. Each December the Earth and sun align with the approximate center of the Milky Way Galaxy but that is an annual event of no consequence.
One of the most bizarre theories about 2012 has built up with very little attention to facts. This idea holds that a cosmic alignment of the sun, Earth, the center of our galaxy -- or perhaps the galaxy's thick dust clouds -- on the winter solstice could for some unknown reason lead to destruction. Such alignments can occur but these are a regular occurrence and can cause no harm (and, indeed, will not even be at its closest alignment during the 2012 solstice.)

There would be a rather crude alignment between the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Saturn. Earth is removed from it by about 120° of separation. Earth is near opposition with Jupiter on that date, which makes it a good time to view Jupiter.

Well, there won't be much of an alignment... Here - use this:
http://www.fourmilab.ch/cgi-bin/Solar
enter the date "12/21/2012" over today's date, and you can see where the planets will be... They're all over the place.

The galactic alignment on Dec 21, 2012 is the alignment of our Sun and the center of the Universe.
-
If it does happen it would be: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupitar, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.
-
Pick any two planets.
However three planets aligning would be a huge coincidence.
