Goodness, this is another one of my pointless rants but please, those of you that read this, please bear with the whole thing...
I'm taking a Health class this semester, as it's a requirement for aquiring my diploma. Nothing too pequliar about that, correct? Well the thing is, I've a very, VERY, VERY ill-tempered teacher, Ms. Willie. I've reason to believe that both students AND teachers would agree when I say that she is, by far, the most HORRID teacher (or even HUMAN BEING, at that) that I've ever encountered in all my years of existence.
I'd first like to give you a bit of knowledge on her.
Now I'd rather not waste much of your time with examples such as those so I'll get right to the point.
Here's the cenario: I was in my chair, obeying her every order, until she raised a question on a topic that I knew nothing of. We had to answer a question, with about a ten sentence long response. Keep in mind, we've heard NOTHING of the topic of the question, and knew nothing about it. Of course, it was fairly easy to b.s my way out of the assignment, but that's not what I was concerned with. I finished before anyone else, then sat in my chair for the remainder of the time. When she saw me just sitting there, she questioned me of it. I asked, "How can we be graded on an assignment that we know nothing of? I mean, it's not a matter of our not paying full attention to your teaching, but rather a matter of you never have teaching it to begin with..." Apparently, that's illegal as well, so I was told to wait outside for the remainder of the class (that's 40 more minutes, mind you) But unlike other people that would grow impatient of waiting, I stayed. I kept calm, and stood (not sat) outside. Then afterwards, once the class was over, I asked for a moment of her time. To express my opinions of her teaching methods. Well of course, this is illegal, too. I was quickly denied my right to mention my opinions, then was told that I needed to "get to the point". Well apparently, I couldn't get to said point, as I was soon interupted once more. She said something along the lines of, "I'm well aware that you're not capable of understanding the lesson, as you don't have the intelligence to do so" Now, fellow MMLS members, I ask you. Is this, or is this not, suggestive? Suggestive of my intellect? What I'm "CAPABLE" of? Wouldn't this upset you?! I'm far to angry to type out the rest of the conversation, as it was simply filled with a sequence of me trying to say something, then her interupting me...
Ugh... I'm terribly upset right now...

- One is not allowed to smile in the class, she interprets this as a sign of disrespect.
- One cannot express one's views to their full extent, else you are removed from the class.
- When engaged in conversation, one cannot take their eyes out of contact with her's for even a brief moment, otherwise she'll extend the conversation by another 5 more minutes. ( By conversation of course, I do mean her yelling at the student, and not allowing the student any bit of time to respond. )
- One is not allowed to aid another individual with an assignment.
- She considers those that follow her every command as "good, intelligent students". Yes, of course, intellect is determined by cooperation.
