Off Topic / Forced classes
« on: November 02, 2009, 12:28:15 AM »
Am I the only one that's forced into classes that I'm not capable of doing?
For instance, last year, I did well in most of my class, with the exception of Biology, where the teacher turned it into Philosophy at the start of the 2nd semester. My English class was great, and my History class too. There were two different English teachers. One was strict, and demanded a lot from the students. I had the other one, who was laid back during lecture, but strict when it was necessary for us to work.
At the end of the year, our English teacher breaks the news to us that the only teacher for Adv English 2 would be the strict teacher. I didn't think much of it, but from the stories I had heard of her class, I did not want to go into it. I asked my mother if I could refrain from taking the course, but she demanded I take it. Her reason being is because she hopes by the time I'm in 12th grade, that I'll want to work as a brain surgeon, or something of that level.
So, 10th grade starts, and as I expected, the work is batstuff crazy. She gives us a list of books we'd be reading throughout the year, and tells us to go out and buy them early. I do this, and I read through the first book. It was an okay book, but really not my taste. It was about the British missionaries spreading their bullstuff to the Africans, back in the 1600s or so. Our assignment with it was to annotate the book, with a minimum of 40 notes. I do this, and manage to get 100% for it.
The second book comes around, and again, it's about the same damned thing: Africa. I start to read it, and I lose all interest in it. And since I'm a lazy procrastinator, the time the essay comes around (now), I'm absolutely lost, and don't know what to do.
I knew from the start I wouldn't be capable of this kind of work. Not only is it that class, but I've got an AP class to take aswell.
And yeah, I know, it's mostly my fault for being such a stuffty student. My point wasn't that I'm a stuffty student, but that I absolutely hate being forced into a class I knew I would not be able to handle. I know my mother has good intentions, but it's so god damned overbearing.
Discuss classes you hate(d) taking.

Anyways, it was an iPod Touch.
