I know right. He used to be in the navy (or marines…) and was like twice my size.</p>
<p>****, he was an azzhole.</p>
<p>I was in this class last yr as a sophmore and the teacher well she was a real ‘female dog’, and would always to people if we had problems to just “Deal with it , and suck it up”.</p>
<p>@LKei, I wasn’t using that one sentence as an example of you sounding whiny. I was saying your entire response post to poseur, in which you sounded pretty emotional and upset [and somewhat accusatory], makes you sound like the “whiny *****” that you referred to in that sentence.</p>
<p>As for the rest: I think you’re taking poseur’s post a bit too personally. Understandably you were pretty upset about your teacher so anything even slightly questioning your situation would sound like a personal attack, but tbh poseur’s post just sounds like a simple statement of her opinion on identities–no subtle attacks on your character or anything.</p>
<p>Generally, if an explanation/interpretation of all the subtle things that someone said in a simple remark online is >5x longer than the remark itself, you’re reading too much into it.</p>
<p>@mcb: Haha yes, everything you said. <3</p>
<p>@LKei: Lol.</p>
<p>Yeah, I guess learning some example problems does help you in applying those identities; I was wrong to imply that it’s straight-up memorization. Still, though, I find it hard to believe that you had no way of learning how to use them. Do you guys not have a textbook with example problems? Is there nothing on the internet about it? I guess I’m just kind of skeptical because I’ve been faced with teachers, even in problem-intensive classes like Chemistry (although fortunately not Pre-calc or Calc), who haven’t liked to explain things – and I and my classmates generally take it upon ourselves to figure out how to do these certain types of problems.</p>
<p>lkei, i, myself have experienced this in h. chemistry last year. our teacher taught us absolutely nothing…every class period we had to copy notes from handouts she gave us & attempt practice problems in class. it was horrible & everyone did really badly in that class.</p>
<p>moral of the story-pay no attention to people who “find it hard to believe your story” : D</p>
<p>for those of you guys that had the most horrible, evil, mean, and incompetent teacher ever…there is still hope!</p>
<p>What i mean is, the my geography teacher that i posted about on page 1 and who made my life hell last year, SHE GOT A PINK SLIP today!!!
i guess its because of the economy and budget cuts, but i still think its what she deserves. I would always hope last year that she would get fired but never believed it. But now its happening. So that one teacher that was just horrible to you…they’re going to get what they deserve sooner or later!</p>
<p>My creative writing teacher said on the very first day of class, </p>
<p>" I guarentee that you will write some of the WORST crap in the world. And I will have to read it! But it’s okay;this is creative writing. Your like infants playing in a sandbox. Your allowed to fail. "</p>
<p>He was a funny and obnoxious teacher.When we were writing short stories he said, </p>
<p>" I don’t know if I can ever teach you how to write well.It’s okay. Some people just don’t have the ability to write. I can’t even guarentee that your writing will improve at all after this course." </p>
<p>It’s very true though.</p>
<p>Well one time my freshmen english teacher started yelling at me when we were taking notes. </p>
<p>In front of the entire class (by the way i was being perfectly quite)</p>
<p>“Madeline, you need to stop making those demonic, animal, witch like noises. I am going to call your mother. You are creeping me out.”
I sat there, stunned, along with the rest of the class. </p>
<p>Yet when we were talking about the prefix ‘pan’ and i said pancake, and when we were talking about the prefix ‘circum’ and i yelled out circumcise she does nothing. </p>
<p>My ‘liberal’ (also superficial rude sadistic bizznatch) newspaper teacher got offended that I put Hussein in our newspaper (in Barack’s name, it was an inauguration piece). After she expressed her disgust and concern I said “Well Mrs. C, it is only offensive if you make it out to be offensive, I only said it once and it is actually part of his name so I don’t see where you are seeing it as offensive”, she then accused me of racism. </p>
<p>She is insane.</p>
<p>I have epilepsy and migraines, my nurse said it was all in my head. (oh the irony…)</p>
<p>My teachers frequently tell me I take too many notes.</p>
<p>XD</p>
<p>
Yeah, I’m in the same situation in AP Chem right now. The vast majority of the class does incredibly poorly, but those of us who do take it upon ourselves to learn the material do fine. So I don’t find it hard to believe that everyone had trouble – I just find it hard to believe that it would be impossible to do well.</p>
<p>oh, that’s nice. at your school. with your classmates. and your teachers. and your curriculum.
as in, we’re not all under identical circumstances.
get my drift? ; )
so let’s all just get back to the true enemies here-horribly obnoxious teachers, & quit criticizing each other for not being able to learn tough material under suck-y circumstances…</p>
<p>so this one girl and my summer school geometry teacher were teasing each other:</p>
<p>teacher: “well you are as big as the SUN!”
girl: “well you are as big as the MOON!”
teacher: “well you are so big you cover me up in an ECLIPSE!”</p>
<p>and my cross-country coach last year:</p>
<p>me: “so how are you planning on getting a tan with a shirt on?”
coach: “well look at you, you’re practically transparent.”</p>
<p>and track:</p>
<p>coach: “I remember last year when <blondie178> would run the two-mile. I’d get in my car and run over to Carl’s Jr and get me some fries and come back and still see her running. and just look at her now!”</blondie178></p>
<p>and an english sub:</p>
<p>sub: “Wow you guys are a nice class. I like interracting with the students and talking to you guys. You guys are a lot of fun to talk to. I hope 6th period is this much fun.”</p>
<p>ironically the note he leaves says that we were the WORST class of the day and how it would have been terrible to end the day with our class and how 6th period was much nicer. WOW.</p>
<p>Teacher sat on the floor, looks around, and said “so this is how you feel like, being short”.</p>
<p>
Circumstances are irrelevant when it comes to taking initiative and learning material. Apparently, some people are just more capable than others. </p>
<p>Get my drift? ; )</p>
<p>Mine is lame. I can’t remember half the crap my HS teachers said to me, so I have one from elementary school.</p>
<p>When I was in second grade, I was checking out the Babysitters’ Club book at the library. I said something to my teacher about the book and she said “You know the girls aren’t real, right?”
And then there’s little me, almost in tears going “Yess, they aree!”</p>
<p>It was like she just told me Santa wasn’t real.</p>
<p>I never forgot that. B****.</p>
<p>I think my elementary school teachers were far more obnoxious than my HS teachers.
I remember in fourth grade, Mr. Beeriman, or whatever the **** his name was said “You can’t just not come to school because it’s your birthday. Who do you think you are? You’re not that special.”</p>
<p>Then again, I went to school in Virginia…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I was with you until here. Have you ever tried to self-study physics, even with a good math background? Some subjects are really near-impossible to learn without a decently competent teacher if you don’t a natural aptitude for the subject, be it physics for me or math for lkei.</p>
<p>A teacher told me she wanted me to drop her class and take something else, going as far as to recommend alternative classes, because I wanted to read the Phaedo for my project instead of some stupid murder mystery (offensive and graphic) novel.</p>
<p>She also said, “Why would ANYONE want to read THAT voluntarily”. I found that pretty offensive because the Phaedo is my favorite book. What made it worse is the fact she is a college professor.</p>
<p>and no, I didnt want to be there. It was the only class left that i would get credit for for that slot time besides 9th grade science. It was either novels a second time (what I had), gym a 5th time, or food preparation a second time.</p>
<p>I had this one ww2 vet sub who later went to MIT and worked for lockheed martin before retiring, and now subs. He’s known for saying a bunch of ridiculously un pc things. In a precalc class he challenged the class to give any problem and he’s solve it. One russian guy gave him something with no solution so he was like “That’s why you commies lost the cold war. You didnt know what the hell you were doing!” Another time he was subbing english, and saw a football player. Our school has a hoorendous team so he said to the football guy, “Wow you guys on last week.” The football guy nodded and was like “Yeahhhh we did.” Then the sub said “Who was it against? The girls school for the blind?” The look on the guy’s face was priceless. Also he got into a bit of bantering with a Mexican dude and told him to go mow a lawn.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I want to be this guy.</p>
<p>We had a sub for APUSH once and I guess we were talking a bit. Sub got ****ed and said that out of all the classes she has had to sub, AP classes were the worse-behaved. </p>
<p>Another time, in my freshman year, i had to do a presentation and i tend to move my hands a lot when i’m talking. Teacher said, “What are you, italian?” Funny, I’m asian :D.</p>
