So near the end of the class, we were discussing essays. More descriptively, planning sheets. And then..my teacher said this.

Quote:None of you are capable of writing an essay without doing a planning diagram.

RAGE. This is an opinion..is it not? Discuss.

Ageist FTW?

Bias is always around, nothing anyone can do will remove it, it is best to just laugh at what it reveals of said person's character.

I truly dislike teachers ~~sometimes~~ most of the time..

The Desert Fox · 10-23-2009 11:13 AM

Bullshit, I've written plenty of essays from scratch.

So have I.

She's said a lot of opinionated stuff before, and i've been thinking about writing it down, but just haven't. This did it, I'm officially gonna start doing so. Soon enough i'll probably have an official thread.

returnal · 10-23-2009 12:26 PM

She's bullshitting you, obviously. I wrote an essay for my (AWESOME) ELAR class and ended up with a 93 on it. And I didn't make an outline until I finished the essay.

Wow, some people just don't realize that people are different and what works for one may not work for another.

I was about to say to do something about it teaming up with other intellectuals who tends to get pisspoor academic grades, but let see the results of doing it.

On a side note.

Either it's an faulty inference or an fact that cannot be proven thus an error.

Pieman · 10-24-2009 08:24 AM

She said it again today. Was tempted to raise my hand and tell her that that was an ageist comment and she can't judge us just by our writing. For some reason, I felt I would've been referred as a result of back-talking though.

Expthka · 10-24-2009 08:41 AM

My teacher does this too. Except we actually get marked for our outlines. o.O Stupid.

I have that feeling all the time i almost punched a teacher once cause she accused me of "ruining" a students history fair project when all i did was ACCIDENTALLY knock over his lil fuckin clay figure. AND GUESS WHAT he fuckin almost won the history fair. I was half a word from slapping her seriously

Last year in the 7th grade statewide writing exam, i scored on the "advanced" level.
I didn't plan a single thing, I just went. :/

I too write better without that planning bs. The school is slavery article I posted on here as well as my torture guide were both improvised on the spot.

My English teacher is cool as hell. If he weren't a teacher he'd probably be a comedian, and we share a lot of political views surprisingly. And of course we don't have to plan any of our writings. ^_^

Not to bother you, but did you actually show her that you are capable of writing without planning and also have some other people?

I did, to the best of my abilities. No results yet. And no, the other people in my class are Class F druggies who don't give a care in the world about their future.

@TDF: Yeah. It's a pink slip that means anything from detention, to suspension based on your crime. Either way it involves being sent to administration and a phone call home.

Because, it has to be relevant to your paragraphs. And descriptive.

Expthka · 10-26-2009 07:37 AM

Well, I always thought it was common knowledge. It's not like I'm going to do an outline on dolphins and then write about canaries, right?

True dat. I mean when you get ideas you think you'll get them all at once? All writers take time to write because sometimes ideas come at random times and so a outline is like forcing your brain to think so its kinda of artificial as where letting it come to you more natural.

Faby · 10-26-2009 05:08 PM

I sympathise. Our head teacher told us on repeated occasions that our teenage minds cannot possibly comprehend some kind of books. Can't remember which though, some French thing. And then she recommended that we read books appropriate to our age. D:
