<p>God I hate bad teachers. And coming from a bad school district I had my share. Here's a nice little story. I thought I had bad ones but then I had Mr. Erickson for physics AP. He was funny and joked around all the time but when tests rolled around we were screwed except the ones who just got it. That was physics honors.</p>
<p>AP was a whole different ballgame. We would sit and talk, play cards, go online and he would play movie trivia with us, since he was sponsor of scholastic bowl we had a mathc of one of those. Then he would just give us actual Ap tests and never grade them. Then he gave us grades he felt like.</p>
<p>Final straw came when the counselor came in to talk about the AP test. It ends up some fund got switched and my AP test was never paid for. I said hooray now I didn't have to fail it. She said pay or don't graduate. I told her I would urinate on the test if I got it.</p>
<p>So I went to the Vice Principal and we had spoken many times and he believe we were "friends" (lucky me). Anyways so I told him I didn't want to take the test because I hadn't been prepared and so instead of wasting $78 I only wasted $11 to have it sent back. Our school is growing and they were looking for ways to cut back so I just said, "Hey you're looking for ways to slash the budget . . . I have a way. Fire Mr. Erickson. He is the most useless, absolute waste of space you have on staff. He taught us nothing all year. He talks about the principal and school board in an unprofessional manner during class and is very rude to specific students. Personally, I think firing Mr. Erickson would be the best decision made here in a while." And then I walked out.</p>
<p>Footnote: If you want to know a bunch of people found out I wasn't taking the test and skipped with me. Mr. Erickson only had one grade for our fourth quarter and that was a "research project" so yeah basically he made it up. I then ended up with a C. Nice!</p>
