Does anyone else here have some potentially perverted teachers? I know in our maths class because there's a very few of us, us girls sit in one corner and the teacher is sometimes just looking at us very weirdly. )':

I had a creepy teacher like that in 7th grade. We always joked that he graded the girls based on their cup size. But, to be honest, I wouldn't be that surprised if it was partially true.
Needless to say, we were all dismayed when he switched to teaching 8th grade our 8th grade year and then later moved up to the high school with us.

It's not just Americans.

My french teacher from four years (Year 9, so 13-14 year olds) ago once derailed an entire lesson into geography so he could teach a particularly daft girl:

A) The difference between the UK, Great Britain, The British isles and England.
B) That yes, the UK is that island "shaped like a dinosaur"
C) No, China is not the capital of Japan
D) No, the language of Japan is not japanish.

I will remember that lesson for the rest of my life. Twas Comedy gold.

I knew a few idiots like this. I wish I could remember some of the things these people thought, but I did too good of a job blocking high school from my memory.

Though I remember my brother complaining that one of his teaches insisted Lake Michigan had shores in Canada. Sometimes, it's no wonder students are so ill-informed when people like that are teaching.

What? How could you not be able to name the continents? The rectangle thing is pretty sad too.

Sadly, I'm not surprised people can't name the continents. One teacher I had made us memorize all 50 states of the country, you wouldn't believe how many complaints went around about this. And we were in 9th grade, really not all that unreasonable to expect 14 year olds to know the states.

Wow, we had to do that in 3rd Grade in my district.

Exactly, it's something we should have been taught years earlier, but somehow avoided. I hate how students always think the work load is unbearable, not matter how old they are. They just want teachers to open up their head and dump the information in there, because working or thinking for themselves to far too unreasonable.

So... the smaller the better? (A-cup = A-plus?)

Makes me glad to live in Canada; only 10 provinces and 3 territories. I did memorize the states and their capitals, though. Later I would do the same with the countries of the world, and that automatically made me my Grade 9 geography teacher's favourite.

Lol I think it may have worked in reverse order. Very creepy sounding teacher. o.o

On a different note, I hate it when you realise you have homework to do at the last minute. =( School tomorrow is not going to be fun. :'(

This is my 7th week of 7th grade.

I'm scared of my SS teacher. She was in the Air Force.

Story of my life. I nearly always write it down in my calendar, but I still manage to forget. It's especially hard right now since I'm still coming down from the high of being on Summer Break, reality just kicked me in the teeth.

 

[Will-powered Spriter]

Today I only have two out of 5 lessons.

...and those lessons are in almost the worst place possible. Every silver lining...

Edit: Ugh, it's too early in the morning, in the week and in my life to deal with this.

As it turns out, two people who were in my class during secondary school have been killed in a car accident in which they were passengers. They were in the majority of my classes for 5 years and they were pretty close to my age. Four other passengers are in hospital and the driver was in custody. I knew them too, althuogh not as well. Everyone seems pretty shook up.

But the problem is, I'm just not sympathetic. The two people were not nice to me. One had ADHD, was generally unpleasant, was disruptive and was expelled towards the end of y11 for threatening someone 5 years younger then him with a knife. The other was generally violent, loud, and had a habit of throwing heavy or sharp objects across the room. I'd personally predicted several years ago that they would die young. Several people had seen the group they were with driving around with and made similar, more accurate and more recent predictions. It wasn't exactly their fault, but they probably should have seen it coming. I've already had a rather awkward conversation with the women who was the year manager when I was in secondary school, who would have had to deal with all the things they did, where we both had to scoot around the fact I didn't like them in the slightest.

Now, of course, this is a horrible way of thinking, no one should die so young, even if it's their own fault. It's a terrible tragic accident that's happened to someone I know well, but the fact of the matter is it's how I feel.

I don't feel bad about them dieing, but I feel pretty horrible about not feeling bad. I'm just confused.

We have to run a mile here. Once in the beginning of the semester, once at the end.

 

[#chelloressurection]

Well, today l start. Thank goodness phys ed is last period, or l would die, only 18 minutes, *eep*

Reading test? " And excuse my poor knowledge of the imperial measurement system, but isn't a mile only 1600 m, and hence a quarter of a mile only 400 m? That's only a minute of running...

Well I think school's finally beginning to wind down for the term for me. At least for now. The Year 12's are currently sitting their trials so most of the teacher's attention have shifted towards them, but I've still got a couple of tests in the next two weeks before the end of term, as well as some assignments, but it's slowing down at last.

Well, our school is full of idiots, especially the teachers, so they just made it one lap around the parking lot, which is a BIG parking lot.

A four minute mile is quite the achievement in itself for any professional.

 

[Ivanka]

ugh That feeling when you're late and you go into class and everyone just stares at you. And then you get told off and next time it will be a detention. =(
I'll be waking up earlier tomorrow. D;

 

[~Nidoking~]
