My Biology Teacher is an starfish.

[Electro]

Okay, so today, in my 3rd block, my biology teacher handed out a worksheet, didn't really explain what to do. I was raising my have for like 15 minutes when he finally came over and asked me what I wanted, I told him I don't understand what to do. He got pissed then and said, "Why didn't you ask me earlier?". I told him I was raising my hand for 15 minutes. So yeah, I got IRP for being "disrespectful" and not doing my work. That's complete bullstuff.

Not what it was on, what you were supposed to do. Did they at least tell you after you asked?

I hate when kids do this, just say his loving name, or walk up to him and ask him. yeah it's poliete to raise your hand, but after about 40 seconds, just say his name or go up to him.

Threaten him with the school board. Always worked with my teachers.

We had one at our school - Miss Josephine Granat - who was an elderly lady, probably in her sixties. This is a catholic school, for reference. She taught math and honors math and was the seventh grade homeroom teacher, but she was a bitch and awful at her job.

Her idea of 'well spent' class time was telling us all about her life in the great depression with her very large family, then reprimand us for not being catholic enough and helping out at church and blah blah blah back in my day bullstuff. Wonder why she never got married.

She'd make a habit of embarrassing people in front of the class. A poor, as in monetary poor kid who never really smelled or looked good got pulled 'outside' by her - in the door where we all could see - and she gave him deodorant and tooth paste. Didn't even bother keeping her voice down. Humiliated him. Anyone didn't do their homework, especially repeat offenders? She'd launch into spiels and tirades and have the time we'd never get anything done. Even goddamn Sister/Principal Francine didn't like her. That's how she got away with everything. Sister Eunice and Sister Francine (Principal and vice principal) hated her and vice versa. Never spoke.

And even if you did homework and tried to be good, if she already made her mind up about you? Snide remarks and jokes at your expense at every opportunity.

I never put up with her and I remember her going to my then-best friend's father and telling him to keep his kid away from me because I was a bad influence. I wasn't going to have that stuff.

She was a bitch for sure. I know what you're going through with bad teachers.

Yeah, to be fair, you should try to be a little more proactive.

You shouldn't need to take 15 minutes to get to work, and if you need help and it's not getting to you in that time, you should try to get the attention more thoroughly. Just remember to be polite.


The punishment might be unfair in your eyes, but the best you can do is to just be nice and get on with it.
No point making a stink about it all, or you'll just get treated like a problem-student.
Learn from the experience and try to improve. Don't be bitter about it either. There's no point letting it ruin the rest of your learning experience.

If it's getting in the way of your work, then loving overcome it. No one will give a stuff if you say "Mr. Cumguzzler, I don't understand this". If you're 'shy', boo loving hoo. Go ask anyway.

I'm having the same problems with my teachers, I never want to work anywhere near the education system when I'm grown up. When you really need to know something urgently, the work comes first, and you were being polite. This has happened to me so much, and it's ridiculous. Recently, I've been having more problems with my Tourette's and when I try to explain to my teachers what's wrong they think I'm trying to make avoidance or to make an excuse which I am not, and it's why I stopped trying to explain how I feel neurologically years ago. I wish to move elsewhere because of how bad the education system is in my country.

when in elementary school the time when I wanted to murder someone was when you raise your hand for like 20 minutes and the teacher ignores you and answers everybody elses questions/comments but igmores you and then he switches topics and then you feel like throwing a desk at him because your arm hurts
I hated it
