<p>A lot of seniors get senioritis…I think that maybe the choir teacher was sick of your daughter’s class in general and was anxious to take out her frustrations on anyone she could.</p>
<p>In law school, we had a teacher second semester third year (when 100% of us already had jobs waiting for us) who hated us. It was an 8 am class and attendance was terrible. He really really wanted to fail some students. (Everyone came out of law school with exaclty the number of credits needed so failure would have been disasterous.) As it turned out, he had a stroke 4 weeks before school was out and we didn’t have class the last 4 weeks, so no one failed. But he would have been delighted to fail ANYONE in the class (even the kids like me who actually showed up for class.)</p>
<p>Sometimes students are victims of extreme teacher frustration-sometimes it’s deserved, and sometimes it’s not deserved. On the last full day of school, the teacher who was the lunch monitor for my daughter’s 6th grade class got their attention and told them that they were the worst students he had ever encountered and that they should all pray to Jesus for forgiveness but that He probably wouldn’t because there was not a good thing about any one of them. (!!!) I have no idea what went on at lunch…but best just to let it go!</p>
