This Friday our government teacher was talking about combining two chapters into one test. Everybody in class disagreed with this, because both chapters are pretty difficult. His response?

We obviously don't know anything about how to give tests because we don't have a degree in teaching, or whatever the degree was that he was talking about.
We clearly also know nothing about how WE learn and how WE deal with tests, again because we don't have your stupid piece of paper stating how many years and how much money you've wasted to become a teacher.
He gave us this lecture that consisted of him bragging about how he's the almighty decision maker and that our opinion on the matter means nothing.
Then he said several times that if we get whatever degree it was then MAYBE he'd consider our opinion.
Wtf.

Some teachers need to have that "I'm big, you're little" attitude. It builds up their ego.

Get all students to not write the test. Then give the blanc test back. His powers are not as far as he thinks.

If you manage to get him to repeat all he said in the text you wrote, record it, publish it worldwide, reveal the evil face of schools. All the BS he spilled out of his mouth = Dictatorship??
I thought schools were more democratic than that.

He's a fucking conceited idiot. The worst part is he is conceited about something that is actually wrong. Pretty hot.

Everyone in my class is too much of a pussy to do that. Our teacher is in his 60s and from the "baby boomer" generation; he's sorta old school and incredibly strict.
He'd just give everyone a zero and move on.

Hey if we get everyone to do that it would start a fucking revolution! The king isn't powerful without his servants.

Try it. You can, but I can already tell you the results. I would be surprised if they weren't like i imagined.

Sounds similar to my government teacher. Whenever somebody questions his decisions in the class he just says "cause I'm a gangster." :| Most of the people in my Government class are idiots though, I don't blame him for not taking them seriously because I wouldn't either.

If you care about getting in to college don't screw yourself over on that test. Take it and move on. Government is a relatively easy class. Unless you're in AP or something, in which case what he's doing is really screwing you guys over.

Your government teacher is a real fag.

Luizao876 · 12-12-2011 05:24 AM

Oh, a teacher with a authorative personality.This is sooo new.

One of my teachers tried that once. She changed her tune really fast after a third of the class walked out on her.

Wow good work haha

I know teachers who know more about us than I know about me. Wtf. Sorry, but you've met an internal person part-time for 1 semester. I've met myself for 14 years. I think i know just a little bit more about myself.

And next semester, we have to take a class called Freshman Seminar. It's a class that teaches you how to take tests, take notes, learn, and listen. It makes me mad because we are the first freshman class that's getting it, and it's a waste of a semester. And it's boring with a decent amount of homework.

Sharpie · 12-12-2011 10:48 PM

Luckily for me, I never had to take freshman seminar; instead I have this advisory thing before lunch, which normally would be when I do my homework. But instead, we're stuck doing ACT prep for the next ten weeks and they just make us do problems from a book and give us the answers.

Sounds like Nazi-Class. Hell, they just took the whole concept from 1940! Of course, some subjects have changed ... but the "Fuehrerprinzip" (One Leader, a thousand lemmings) is still the same. Also, you should live to the leaders ideology, not by your own. And work, so you don't get a hold of critic thoughts.

oh, and that was just a attempt at sarcasm

I can't wait to try that on an arrogant teacher.

aCol · 02-04-2012 01:27 AM

Hope you are able to, but stand by for enemy fire! The teacher will most probably be REALLY PISSED off.

They never were when I was growing up. When I first went to school, I thought it would be fun. But just a few days after, I knew it was a Hell hole. Yes, getting out of the house was good, but just to be stuck into another building in a cramped room with 20-30 kids? I'd have rather DIED than have to endure another day of humiliating at the merciless hands of my peers.

I knew all that on a subconscious level, though. I didn't possess (and maybe I still don't) the vocabulary to describe how I felt.
