My worst experience with a teacher would be my sophomore year in U.S. History class. This was his first year teaching at the high school, however, he was previously a teacher at the middle school. As I recall, even in middle school, he would rant and rave about things in the news for a good portion of the class. This wasn't the horrible part, even though it wasn't very fun to listen to his opinion on everything...
A friend of mine would always just try to get under this teachers' skin. After a while of constant annoyance the teacher would snap on whom ever he felt. This man would yell and scream until his face was a bright pink just like the tie around his neck.
To some, this made class far more entertaining than listening to him lecture about gas prices and his salary. The thing that irritated me most about this teacher was him complaining how he would rather be somewhere else then teaching us.
The only upside to this teacher was he would pass any kid failing just because he was a big softy at heart.

ReplyDeleteThis is where you have your chance to make the piece come alive, with direct quotations of the guy screaming and cursing. What did he say?
You had your chance to write "you little motherfucking cocksucker shitbags--I'm going to ram this yardstick up your little assholes!" in your English theme and you blew it!
