So, in my Junior year of high school, I had an awful teacher. Let’s talk about that.
I got pulled into the IB program because they liked me and I had really good grades. But I didn’t want anything to do with that shit. I tried to request they take me out but they wouldn’t listen to me.
Anyway, this eventually led to me being put into an AP U.S. History class. Which is already annoying since they give us U.S. History classes like every other year, has anyone noticed this?
Anyway, this new teacher had a doctorate, and liked to bring it up. A lot. She would even yell at us if we DARED call her anything other than Doctor or Doc.
Anyway, so let’s talk about how Doc ran her class. It was simple.
Every day we get a reading assignment in our massive fucking textbooks. These reading assignments would be up to 30-50 pages at a time, and we would do the reading at home. The next day we would take a quiz on what we read, that would take up the whole class period, then repeat, until the end of the week, we take a test on all of what we read the past week.
Read at home, come to school, take test, go home, read, come to school, take test. This was her class. I should also specify none of these quizzes or tests had ANY multiple choice questions.
So my grades in this class started tanking because apparently she didn’t like the way I wrote my answers, because she started giving me zero’s, all the fucking time, and even after asking her what she wanted in the answers, and I tried my best to comply, I still got maybe 40%’s at best on my tests. One time she even seemed to refuse to grade my stuff at all, as she once berated me for not turning in my assignments. A friend of mine later brought me a photo she took with her phone of… the assignments she said I didn’t turn in, in her desk trash can.
