RANT ARNAT RANT RANT RANT !!!!!

[Cuda1447]

Ok so Im really really really mad right now. I am to the point where I want to make life living hell for every teacher and administrator at my school, except for a select few. M;y computer tech teacher (former) is a total idiot. Ive taken his class for the last year and a half and we do next to nothing in there all day every day. So I don't know wtf he grades us on. Ive questioned him time and again, and had quite a few arguments with him cause he's a total prick, and if any of you met him you would agree. I finally got out of that class, taken college classes now, but on our last marking period grade he gave me a FRICKEN C. I know more about computers then him, I did EVERYTHING he asked me to do, and totally cooperated. HE GAVE ME A C, and I even did 3% extra credit in there! My Computer graphics teacher at our regular school is a total idiot, she's really an art teacher that doesnt know anything about computers, and since our school is on welfare they can't afford decent equipment so none of the computers ever work right, and they always try to figure out why but they are dumb as crap. All we get in their for work now is busy work, its totally pointless BS and I am really getting sick of doing it. We have to redesign this brochure because supposedly it looks bad. I think the brochure looks fine, infact better then what I, or anyone in that class can do, including the teacher. I'd like to see the teacher do her assignments for once, see how she likes them. I was on the verge of just walking out today. Soooo mad. I asked another friend of mine what she is doing for her brochure she said that she is just giving it a different template and saying she *thinks* it looks better this way, even though we both agree it'll look worse. Basically she said she is BSing her way thru it, cause thats all we are supposed to do in that class. So I get home just now for lunch and mom tells me that my little sister (8th grade) got 5 hrs of detention, it didnt hit me right away, but now I realize that I have to wait around another 1hr 40 mins up town now to pick my sister up from detention for 2 weeks. I have nothing to do during that time, and driving 10 miles home is a waste of gas. Im the only one with a car now since my dad moved to florida for a new job (family is staying here and finishing up school year) so its all on me to pick her up, that means I can't do anything during that time plus another 30 minutes because I have to take her home. It turns out that she got detention because some kid &bumped& into her table, and she called her a lesbian. Yah, ok bad little sis, but what really happened is that the kid hit my little sisters table on purpose cause they dont like each other, and is basically harassing her, and so my little sister, only being 13 called her a lesbian. So my sister got in trouble but not this other girl...



THIS SCHOOL SYSTEM IS FULL OF CRAP, IM ABOUT 4 MONTHS FROM GRADUATING AND GETTING OUTTA THIS CRAP ARSE CITY, IC AN'T WAIT... Should I raise hell left and right and question the motives and reasoning behind every move everyone does that I dont like? Should I be like, wtf why did I get this grade? Wtf why are we getting busy work? Wtf why did my sis get in trouble but not the other girl? WTF WTF is wrong with you?!?!?!?!!??!?!?!?!?!?!?@!?KFalsijfkleawflkeawklrJ

might i suggest going to your english class... they teach you neat stuff like punctuation, and paganation, and paragraphs.

 

[minendo]

Do they teach grammar at your school? Things like paragraphs, run-on sentences, etc.

*hands Cuda1447 the Tylenol*

Seriously, I totally understand. I got sick of college and took 21 classes in one year to graduate early.

 

[Cuda1447]

Yah, Im so mad right now I don't really care about that crap. Read my other posts, you'll realize I know proper english.

 

[BD231]

Come over and I'll slap you across the face and say "Get a grip man!", that should take care of things.

Hey thread crapper, even though I typed that about as fast as I could, I doubt you will find one run on sentence in there.

Here's a tip from the far side of 40..... It doesn't get any easier than how you have it right now. I would say be glad your family is together and try to realize everyone isn't out to screw you. Life is a bitch, but you don't have to be. Try to see the lunacy that surrounds you and don't let it get to you.
I know what you mean about the graphics teacher. When I was in college, I had been building synthesizers for a couple of years and the first thing out of the Electronic Music profs mouth was so stupid, I knew I could teach that class. I pulled a C out of it, too. The problem was I quit applying myself after that. I figured "why bother?" If I had kept at the same "rate of climb" that I had when I started the class, he would have no choice but to give that A. Someone has a sig here that says something about... "it's the ego that wants to live forever..." There's some real truth in there.
Try to laugh at things without sounding like a maniac.... It sounds like things are building up for you.
< gotta go snicker behind the backs of some more hapless victims....

<edit... I just looked at those photos. Whose name is on that lease?
That is GROSS. BTW, wtf do two guys need with 22 plates?? That's asking for trouble. one set of dishes per person . PERIOD!
I'ld throw his ass out, that's disgusting....

 

[LeeTJ]

Wasn't this thread locked earlier??

wonder what happened?

 

[Oakenfold]

Wow, had some serious trouble with that paragraph.
Maybe you could break it up some? Yes I need glasses but refuse to give in!


Sorry to hear you are having a rough day.

To borrow a line from Styx, "Why must you be such an angry young man?"

#1) Welcome to life. It doesn't get any better, and you don't get a hard hat, so learn to duck fast.

#2) Did you ever consider that you computer teacher doesn't want to cut you any slack because you're basically being an ass to him? Don't try to tell me that he doesn't know what you think of him. He knows.

#3) As for the computer graphics class: Deal with it. Be happy you're getting credit for a class that you can BS through and leave it at that. Your dislike of this class seems to me to be a means of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

#4) By 13 your little sister ought to know that it's always the second person who gets caught.

#5) You want to know if you should raise hell and question things that aren't going to change (and in the process paint a big target on yourself and only make things worse) when you can just ride it out?

Of course the computer teacher knows, doesn't make him any less of an ass for giving a student a C just because the student knows more than he himself does.

i've had professors and teachers like that. sucks. not much you can do about it either.

The most important thing that I've learned so far in life is that you get what you give. If you're an arrogant little punk to the teacher or professor, then your work is going to be scrutinized like nobody's business and he's going to feed your own attitude right back to you. Besides, it's very rare for a student in such a situation to actually try. If experience is any indication, the work being handed in to the teacher is half-assed but the student is so arrogant about his abilities that he thinks that half-assed work will fly.

I learned this the hard way. Way back in HS I had an English class and I started out handing in papers that would have gotten other kids "A"s. I got high "C"s and low "B"s because the teacher graded on a sliding scale based on the students' abilities. Took me one quarter to get smart and start actually working on the papers, the "A"s came once I stopped being an arrogant little punk about my abilities and assuming that anything less than my best was acceptable.

I love people who try to correct grammar and have errors in their own reply. Btw, what does pagination have to do with a post in a forum?

Edit: Nice rant btw.

Don't you mean, "I love it when people who try to correct...." (I just couldn't resist.)

Ditto. Rants are exempt from spelling and grammar mistakes, as well as paragraph formatting.

Long stories and issues are not.

I give the rant a fairly decent 7, because yes, your teachers seem to be idiots, but it lacked the bitter rage of, say, shinerburke's rant. Learn from the best, and your rants will improve.

You last post is interesting because it gives the teacher waaayy to much credit and assumes too much about the student in question.

teachers have a set of rules that they have to follow and unless the student out right insults him to his face and embarrasses him in front of the whole class, the teacher SHOULD not let his personal impression of what he THINKS the student thinks of him. (i know that sentence is horrible). Teachers are required to maintain at least the semblence of objectivity and in this case, i'm assuming that the teacher did not.

in this particular case it is true that the student didn't think much of the teacher so the teachers "guess" regarding how the student felt about him is true, but is it ALWAYS true. are the teachers guesses 100% accurate?? NO.

It is much worse for him to downgrade 2% of his students wrongly than for him to let the 98% off. because truly he isn't grading on their work. their effort etc is not his to question.

Cuda, I've been there, 16 years ago, and had the similar problems. I was totally bored in my math and science classes. Debated with the teachers and had to fight over grades because they didn't like my attitude. The battle wasn't worth it in the long run because public schools do not have one-on-one accountability with students. Plus the teachers and principal are not paid enough for them to care what one student thinks or feel about the system. There are the special teachers who go out of their way to connect to their students. But on the whole public schools have been going downhill since the enactment of the NEA, 1979.

Good luck to you, college won't be much better.
