If not, just delete my post =P
Also, sorry for language.
My rant is about school, as are most rants of everyone in high school -> college range.
I can't figure out what the hell is wrong with my teachers. Not all of them, some of them are all right, but a decent portion of them are totally ****in' insane.
I'll just go down the list
Art - This teacher is systematically ruining art as a topic. We do bookwork. She reads out of the Tao te Chang, loudly and obnoxiously, mispronouncing words, and ruining the poetry of it. Also, she stole the idea of reading it from a kid in our class. She got the idea because if you're late to class, you have to make up and perform a skit. Yes, if you're late to ART class, you have to do something stupid/embarassing/ridiculous for the entire class, and a friend of mine read a bit of the Tao, and she stole the idea from him. Also, she tries to make our class stretch, because she thinks we're tired. Really? We're tired at 8 in the ****ing morning? I get five hours of sleep a night on average, I'll be tired if I damn well please.
English - This teacher is just a ****in' psychopath. Within the first week of me being in her class, she told me that she used to be a gogo dancer. Not in like... a seducing sort of way, but in the way that its just put into conversation in a creepy manor. Also, she's probably about 40-50ish, and have very obvious fake tits. She's also pretty ****in' ugly. and married. But thats not what makes her a psychopath. She blatantly and loudly screams at our class (which is full of idiots, for the most part) about most things. Screaming at stupid little stoner kids for laughing when a dark room is described as "dank" is fine, I don't care about that. But heres what gets me. So we read The Raven, by Edgar Allen Poe. Poe is like.. one of my favorite authors, and I love his work. So first we read it, which was good, because its nice to refresh your memory on stories like that. Then, this stupid ***** decides that it's a good idea for us to watch Homer Simpson perform the Raven. Why? Because she can't teach, and can only throw busywork at us. So I'm obviously VERY uninterested in seeing such an otherwise great poem ruined by a cartoon character, so I stop paying attention. That's when she starts screaming at me and telling me how I do nothing but sit around and talk in her class, even though I'm one of the top 5 grades in the class.
Thats just one of a million examples too.
Skills for Students who are Gifted (Gifted Studies, class full of people with IQ over 130. Taught by the greatest person on the planet, no complaints).
Physics - Teacher is good in here, although I have trouble keeping up with the rest of the class.
Marine Biology - Teacher is a really nice person, but she doesnt really understand what I'm going through at all. Because her marine bio class is rumored to be a "slack" class, she's got a bunch of stupid stoner seniors who took it to do nothing, so then they cheat on all the work. This leads her to have a "zero on all late work, no exceptions" policy. This is murder for me, because I never hear her collect the work, despite trying to pay attention, so I've gotten 2-3 zeros on assignments I ACTUALLY DID, when the idiots surrounding me that copied it from somebody else get credit because they heard her collect.
Science Research - Class about preparing projects for science fair. Pass or fail, A or F, depending on whether or not I get my project done before Fair begins. Needless to say, I'm behind. Teachers are nice, but not perfect.
Precalc - She tries to get it, and she's talked to my mother multiple times about it. This class is at the end of the day, so i've got all my "yay, I get to go home and be not miserable for a bit" energy, and none of it's directed towards math. Managed to pull my grade up from an F to an A, but it's gonna go back to a B or a C within a few days, I can feel it.
Anyone have any comments, rants about their teachers, etc to share? I'm always in a listening mood.
