Educators ought to know better than their pupils what an education is. If educators do not, they have wasted their lives. The art of teaching consists in large part of interesting people in things that ought to interest them, but do not. The task of educators is to discover what an education is and then to invent the methods of interesting their students in it.

P.E. teachers are nice to me. I don't know why, but I can miss class, do nothing and I can still pull an A. A lot other people that can run a hell of a lot faster, only have B's. :confused:

This year, I would have straight A's in every single class. However, VB.Net Programming is the class I have the B in. Well, actually, my grade went from 84%, to 54%, to 104% to 98% back to 84%. This within a few weeks.

I'm one of the only people that does all the work and has programmed everything (despite the old computer crashing on me every 20 minutes). The teacher doesn't care though. He's horrible. He was laid-off from his previous job, and he decided to teach. He shouldn't even have his license, but they had a guy follow him for a few feeks, and he instantly became a teacher.

He's always late or never shows up to class, he doesn't care and assigns work without telling us.

He tells me that I never did my homework when I say he lost them. So I do them again, and he losses them. So I ask if I can search in his binder where he keeps all our assignments, and I find the multiple copies of the homework he claimed that I lost. So I make extra copies now.

He never grades anything until there are 2 days left in school either, so he has like 500 assignments to grade.

The Vice Principle came into monitor him a few days ago. What's worse is his son goes to this school, who claims he's in the middle of look for a new job outside of teaching.

Worst teacher ever. :rolleyes:

wow. That is a really bad teacher.
 
  • #23
Yeah, I know. He probably won't get fired 'til next year.

My GPA will be damaged and there isn't anything I can do about it.

He teaches most of the Tech classes, so next year I'm going to stop taking them.

i pity the son

Yeah, I feel sorry for the son since everyone hates the teacher.

You'd think that being in the same school with his son would motivate him to work harder and make his son proud. Almost the opposite is happening.

If I were you I'd be documenting all of this. Make copies of all your assignments and get some kind of verification from a third party (maybe your school's administration office) that these were done and delivered on the assigned date. Show them these assignments before you even turn them in.
If you are meeting the requirements, and can prove it, then you have a legitimate cause to file a complaint.

You should be aware that there are nocturnally roving herds of weird, purple jellyfish who may try to eat your plastic fish collection. (Their eyesight isn't the best).
You should also be aware that there are security services claiming they will provide 24 hour protection against weird, purple jellyfish. Don't get suckered into subscribing to one of these services. All they will do is come and round up the ones who have already gotten in, after the damage is done. They perform no actual preventative measures. Since the jellyfish will leave on their own, anyway, don't waste your money to have them carted away.

It's funny how they can't make a cheap sturdy weed whacker. I took one apart last week, replaced the bearing, and it worked for about ten minutes before it started doing this out-of-phase oscillating thing. I had to throw it away. I think the vibration was giving me nerve damage.I bought a used one at the swap meet yesterday for 3 dollars, and so far it's O.K. At that price I consider them disposable, anyway.

Best solution, though, is probably a hungry goat. Form a neighborhood coalition to share it around.

Yes a goat would be good, or a flamethrower, or better yet, a flamethrowing goat.

A beast such as that would likely starve itself to death.

They should put that in a movie. Revenge of the flamethrowing goat. When humans encroach on its territory, it charrs them to ashes! Starring the goat and his witty sidekick, a talking pie.

Of course a movie like that wouldn't sell because everyone wants to see kitshy movies and not the movies where things EXPLODE. As Homer Simpson says: "Whatever happened to rooting for the guy with the flamethrower or an acid spraying gun of some sort"

I just found out that I have an A in my Programming class.

How the hell did that happen?!

Meh, I'm not going to complain. Hopefully I can keep it.

(Refer to Page 1 if you have no idea what I'm talking about).

Whoops. Sorry. I have confused Mancunian and Mancusian: Mancusia is a planet not far from Zoobonia. Apologies.

I have to admit, I can't really remember. It may be Simpsons or Futurama. My friend mentioned it to me a while back and it has just stuck in my head. It's like a curse...

I did wonder whether you were insulting my family by saying they were extra-terrestrial or whether it was a genuine mistake. Have you ever been to Liverpudlucian, Mancusia's moon?
