<p>That
A) You have other classes
B) You have a life outside of school</p>
<p>lol for me the teachers explicitly state that they know we students have lives and other classes, but still pile on hw to screw us over.</p>
<p>My Spanish teacher sure seems to forget that!!! She is the worst about it. AP Lit teacher seems to foget on occasion, but it’s slightly more understandable because most of the students in AP Lit don’t have any other AP classes so it’s not a huge deal for most students in that class to read a whole book over Thanksgiving Break. The rest of my teachers are all really reasonable, though. I’m pretty lucky.</p>
<p>They don’t forget, just don’t care.
The most annoying thing is that I’m taking AP Art history online (easy, just tedious) and my teacher has “Live Sessions” Where we have to be on at 7:00pm every Tuesday…right in the middle of sports games and musical rehearsals…</p>
<p>So she makes me write 2 page summaries on them. So dumb.</p>
<p>“We know you have lives so we’ll only assign one book/chapter a day…” Every teacher ever</p>
<p>yeah they “forget” im sure that’s what it is -.-</p>
<p>or they just hate children. why teach if you hate children??? most students who take ap classes take more than one, so it’s kinda mean just to pile everything on. and then they’re like “this is like college.” actually, no it’s not. we can’t even pick our own seats, we have like seven classes, and i’m forced to leave my house before 7am.</p>
<p>LOL sorry, i would never tell a teacher that irl, so i needed to get it all out there</p>
<p>I’ve had a couple teachers who just pile on hours of homework every day. My English teacher last year would actually tell us that his class was the most important and that “you might as well just go home after this class, because this is the most interesting stuff you’ll learn all day.”</p>
<p>Funny because English is pretty useless after middle school.</p>
<p>That’s not entirely true. I’m extremely STEM-oriented, but I would still agree that communication is essential in any career or endeavor, even in (especially in) the sciences. If you’ve made a brilliant discovery but can’t communicate it to others, then what’s the point of having made that discovery? Literature-wise, maybe reading Shakespeare doesn’t seem like the greatest use of time, but our culture is built upon his works and those of many other literary giants; society demands that we be familiar with famous works of literature. (Because apparently it’s socially acceptable not to be able to do math, but if you’ve never read Hamlet, it’s as if you’ve committed some sort of crime… grumble grumble.)</p>
<p>My Marching Band director loves to forget both of those.</p>
<p>“What do you mean band isn’t your life and soul and everything?”</p>
<p>Eh, not really. They are all pretty good.</p>
