My Stupid English Teacher

[CinnamonSynonym]

First of all, hello. This is my first thread, and I think I read the rules thoroughly, but I might have missed something.

Anyway, 3rd hour is the only real issue I have with school at this point. I don't 'like' the rest, but it's bearable. However, in 3rd, I have ELA 9 with a teacher let's call <x>. <x> is quite literally stupid. <x> cannot pronounce several words, such as 'simultaneous', and 'foreshadowing'. <x> even spelled 'skull' wrong (assuming it's not *really* spelled 'scull'). There are a lot more examples but I can't remember them all. Also, she changes score values and due dates, usually against the students' favor.

In another case, <x> was telling us about MLA format (which I, personally, have no problem with), and <x> seemed to 'know' that MLA means that it *has* to be in Times New Roman. When reading the 'spec sheet' for MLA from the OWL Purdue site, I read *all* the words, and found that it said "[...] use a legible font (e.g. Times New Roman)." Normally, this would be fine, but <x> is a freaking *English* teacher. You'd think they'd have to read well to be a teacher, but...

So I'm going to turn in an essay in consolas (a font) and see how this goes down.

In other news, this is how the transition from unemployed to employed should go:
Boss: Hi. So, you want a job, huh?
Dude: Yep.
Boss: So, you know that we work in the field of <Q> here, right?
Dude: Right.
Boss: Do you know anything about <Q>?
Dude: Yeah! I love <Q>! Why else would I want a job here?
Boss: Okey-Dokey. You're in.

And here is how it goes now (more or less (more less and less more)):
Dude: I would like a job.
Boss: Fine. You got a diploma?
Dude: Yeppers. Got it right here.
Boss: So, why do you want to work here?
Dude: Well, it pays, right?
Boss: Yeah, I suppose so.
Dude: So....?
Boss: See ya tomorrow at 8.
