my calculus teacher did little senior year jokey biographies of people as a big powerpoint on the last day. he was well loved, venerable, yet also slightly … odd. sharp, but vaguely weird. he separated people into basically informal friend groups [with multiple people on the same slide] and people who were the sort of weird alone people. i was one of the alone people. and he said i slept all the time for some reason, i was very sleep deprived but very anxious.
i was sleep deprived all of school really, it started so fucking early, terribly unfair to anybody’s sleep schedule
upon typing this I suppose it isn’t the Worst but it’s still not a fun way to end
My algebra teacher had anger issues. One day, my friend and I threw a bunch of sharpened pencils into the drop ceiling tiles. When he noticed it, he threw his planner at me. It was hard plastic and he narrowly missed hitting me in the face. The school did nothing about it.
One day when he was the lunch monitor, someone hit him in the face with a slice of pizza. He slammed his hand on one of the tables so hard while screaming at us, that he broke his wrist. So that was pretty funny
Yeah. Like kids do suck, but if you can’t control yourself around them, you shouldn’t be a teacher.
I agree, gotta have patience to work in that field. Although I don’t know if it’s really a teacher’s job to put up with that, I’m in favor of decreasing what constitutes as “fuck you and your kid” behavior. Kid throws a pizza at a teacher, fuck him, new school or alternative school the rest of the year or more, teachers aren’t paid enough for that.
