Just to mention, I am new to this forums. I am from New Zealand and its very clear what I came to this forum for - because I HATE school too. I am Year 8 student which is equivalent to grade 6? Which means I am basicly a pip-squeak who is going to turn into a teen in October.
Yesterday, it was the last day of Term 3 at my school. Right now, I am on public holidays which is sweet. Anyway, my last day has somewhat got me even more stress. I have a group of friends that hate school and decided to form an rebellion organization ever since my teacher sent a classmate home for graving "My teacher is a bitch". Not too surprised he did that because he hates my teacher. So do the organization and the whole class too. So we have been pulling a few what I call "Rank 5" pranks to annoy my teacher. Although I did regret doing it since it was mindlessly done without any precise planning and now one of the organization member got questioned and gave in since the pressure is getting to him and I got involved. Now, my teacher considered me as a "goody good" since I know I can manipulate her if she gave me her respect and trust but now she considers me a sly rat arranging things and escaping trouble which is true though.
Rank 5 Missions Accomplished:
>> Superglue her school meeting diary on her desk. Next day, the cover was ripped. Thats the prank my friend got pressured about.
>> Changed her school log in account wallpaper into porn. Luckily, it didn't show in the school assembly projector otherwise I will be in deepshit but that will be full total public humiliation if that happened.
And did (well, to be accurate, my friend did) minor missions like hide the detention book and set off lots of stink bombs.
After enduring all the pressure from keeping my cover up about the pranks, it was the last day and we were literally forced to do "reflections" (write what I enjoyed most about this term, who did I get to know better, and lots of rubbish) and wrote some critical comments in the morning.
Quote:The thing I didn't enjoy most was Maths because I hate boring worksheets. You could improve by using a different teaching method instead of using PAPER.
The comment on my behaviour and attitude is nothing.
The thing I could improve is speaking up and stand up for things I believe in.
Three things who I got to know better is J, P, and C. (I am going to use their initials) And found out....
P studies well because of her parents. This shows she will live her life to please others and will never have a true smile.
C uses the moral "attitude over ability" which is good but she follows the crowd.
J isn't good at French because he is either too lazy to even pay attention or the way French is presented is horribly boring. Maybe a different teaching method is necessary.
My friends read the people I got to know better bit and they giggled with their mouths wide opened and commented saying I am "mean". I just simply defended myself saying "Well, there is no other way to put the truth lightly."
(She included questions about what I could do to get ready for high school but I ignored that one.)
Things I would like to work on is PE/Sport and a way that could happen is I get taught by someone who expertises it, not by a manual. (My teacher uses a manual when it comes to teaching PE. How pathetic!)
Finally, (I wrote ... and a slash for my last comment.)
Soon, in Block 2 (my school schedule works in "blocks") after morning tea, I did some talking with my mates, and even time I glimpse at her, she looks somewhat "shocked" and "scared" then miss told me to set up the mimio projector and then she stated "I am the only one who thinks I am not good at teaching french." I didn't respond since it was out of the blue. Its clear she readed my reflection comments. "Can you suggest any teaching methods?" I replied "I'll think about it" since my mind is shocked.
After being calmed down, it was block 3 and we all had to proceed to the library. My other friend tried to stay in class since he didn't want to go to library and I tried to hide under the desk. But I gave in, lined up, and walked through the corridors. I saw my friend staying behind and he quickly went back to class. So I walked slowly till my teacher went through the entrance of the library and ran back to class.
Soon after bumming around, one of my friend's stalkers found a fart bomb in the corridor. It was inflated but hadnt popped. One of the staff who I will call Mr W walked passed and my friend were telling him there's a fart bomb. My friend's stalker pretended to be curious and intented to pop it by stepping on it. But it still hadn't popped but the attention grew with the people who stayed behind in class to clean up and the people who went to library came too. Then the moment my teacher came, me and my friend escaped from the class and hid. We saw Miss and Mr W outside privately discussing things. My friend assumed Mr W is issuing her about her "emotion stability" and yelling people unnecessary.
Soon, we came to the library and reunited with my classmates in the library. Then the Mr W came to get the friend I escaped with and my teacher came to get me to the ICT room and had a private talk.
This the bit that gave me the stress.
Miss K issued about my slyness. I took a deep breathe and talked.
- She was saying how arrogant my attitude is now. (Pfft! She can't take opinions. -__-)
- She feels like she has been personally attacked reading my reflections. O_O (I don't do personal attacks. I don't resort to immature activities apart from the pranks xD which were intentally to annoy her. She definitely can't take criticism. She's so self-centered.)
- Miss was saying I was critical with the comments on the reflection.
- She thinks that I am thinking that she isn't good at teaching French. (She misunderstood my statement. All I did is suggested that she should change her method of teaching French for J, not saying shes not good at teaching French.)
- She was saying that she was awarded for being best french teacher. (Just because you got an award for being best french teacher doesn't necessary approve your literally the "best" french teacher. It's just a matter of opinion.)
- Then she was blabbing how good my french is and the others.
- She asked me to suggest to make things work. Well, I told her to start being equal with both genders since she is being sexist always choosing girls first. She replied that she doesn't do favourites (No she does do favourites. You should see how she treated me when I was a "goody good"). And along with her excuse, she stated that a few of the boys are too difficult to her. (What did she expect after treating them like dog?) And to wrap her excuse, she said that I can't demand changes. She says she is the boss. (PFFT! Our generation of youth is more important that some stupid ignorant teacher.) That shows she going to ignore my ideas so I didn't say more after that.
- She assumed that I was associating with other classes. O_O I didn't know what she was talking about and where that came from. I wouldn't rush things to associating with other classes without any plans which I don't have any. No wonder she was talking to other teachers during the past week pointing at me.
- She says that if I have a problem with her, I should confront her. I replied she is too emotionally unstable to take anything. She thought it was interesting when I said she rages up.
- She also assumed that I "tell the whole world" about her. This is my first time I am saying this on public internet.
- She states all the awards and praises I received and looked if shes trying to make me feel guilty. "and you're still unhappy?"
- She says that I need to stop being judgmental. I assume she is referring to the "who I got to know better" bit. Well, its who I am. The Truth-Seeker. The Truth hurts unfortunately. =)
After that, we decided to talk more outside my classroom. I quickly ran to my friend saying "She's picking on me" then Miss saw me with her angered eyes with a shock face how I am leaking the talk to other people. She treated me like a dog and told me to go to class. My friend defended me saying "LEAVE HIM ALONE!". We walked through the corridors. She starts prying about my family. I should have said "How does my family suppose to be involved with this?"
We sat on the benches. My mind was extremely blank.
- She asks why I am doing this. I simply told her its because I hate school.
- She asks me to elaborate. I told her its like a prison and feel like your freedom is restricted.
- She says she doesn't create the law.
- She asks what are gonna do if I was free. I replied I'll pursue my interests.
- She gives me an invite about a programme shes doing and asked if I am interested. I said yes.
- And said we could do an independent project.
- She says I am worming nastiness into my unhappiness.
- She informed me that there's a new curriculum however its not taken effect yet into a few more years which she states that it will be late for me.
- She say that she can't change the subjects otherwise she would get told off by the Year 8 dean. I told her that statement in my words: "So your basicly forced to follow the curriculum?" And she said yes.
- Then she suggested "How about we forget about this and start fresh. I agreed to go with the flow.
- Then she FORCES me to apologize for giving her a "hard" time. -______-
- Then I told her I will keep this talk "confidential" As if.
After that talk, it gave me guilt, stress, and a headache from too much thinking. I'll need to seriously think about the rebellion after acknowledging that the government is responsible for school so if we want change, I'll have to target the government. Unless she is playing the "blame" game. Well, writing this made me feel better. Sorry for the long post. XD
