Can I blame the teacher..

Can I blame the teacher if I'm getting A's in all my classes but science? Cuz I study, I do, but I cant never get anything higher than an 84. It would probably be easier if I had a teacher that didn't look at you as though you were the stupidest child on the earth if you asked a question.

IS IT SO WRONG!!!??

Poor baby....all A's & one B!?!?!? Seriously, what grade are you in? One B isn't a big deal. Maybe he/she is a jerk or MAYBE science isn't your strongest subject. However, if he does treat you like crap when you ask a question in class, then you should ask him/her if there is a problem. NOTHING is wrong when you ask a question b/c if you have a question probably 50% of your class is wondering the same thing.

no no pinky, I'm saying the highest I've gotten is an 84. Meaning all my other grades are from 36-73.

Unless the teacher does not do his/her job - meaning teach the material properly, field questions, or assist students, then there is no way that you can place all the blame on the teacher itself. Maybe science just isn't you're thing - you seem to have other strengths so focus in on them in the future and just keep working hard for the rest of the year with the teacher you've got.

Dear Sally Brown,

I find it difficult to believe that you've received "A's" in English. In your posting you use "cuz" instead of "because" and follow it by a double negative. Then you neglect to use an apostophe in a contraction. Darling child, is Liam your English teacher?

Hoping for a grammatically correct world,

Dollypop

Dut Dollypop--aren't you Liam's "teacher"?

[Dollypop]

Posted: 4/25/05 at 8:54pm

I'm not Liam's teacher (Thanks be to the Lord of Creation!). I am, however, his nemesis.

How's everyone else doing in that class?

If the rest of the class is screwin up then def. take it to the administration and figure out the heck your teacher's problem!!!!

Please remember, there's no such thing as a bad teacher--only mediocre students. Right, Liam?

[SallyBrown]

actually, everyone is doing horribly as well. This teacher also pushes. She's not abusive or anything, just rude. My locker is unfortunately right next to her door, so if her door is open, I can't get to my locker. Well everytime I'm "in her way" she just shoves me.


But I figure that, 7 weeks left of school, should I even bother getting the school involved, because at this point, I've become immune to failing quizzes.

Yenta, if my memory serves me accurately, your late father was a teacher. N'est pas?

Yes he was DollyPop. He taught Social Studies and I heard he was a fairly good teacher........which to this day still stumps me. Did you ever have him for Social Studies?

I have totally been in your situation... my science teacher dislikes me alot. He didn't even tell me that I didn't turn in my lab report till after he turned in all of the grades in the gradebook... and refused to change my grade, after I showed him that I DID TURN IT IN. He blamed me and told me that it was my fault and that I never emailed it to him, and I had the email that I sent to him as proof too! I was so angry... and he always gives special privelges to his other students because he just doesn't like my class. I'm sorry... but there are some teachers that have it out for you... no matter how hard you try. But that being said, there are also students that refuse to listen to teachers because they believe they have it out for them... crazy cycle huh? ~kangaroo

No, I had Larry Paul for either social studies or art (he taught both) every friggin' year I was in that school. BTW: Did you know that Mr. Paul died of throat cancer a few years ago?

I don't think she has it out for me because everyone has the same problem with her. Mlesh, 7 weeks only 7 weeeeks

[Dollypop]

Posted: 4/25/05 at 9:15pm

Okay, what's this Mlesh stuff that's popping up? Is it a secret ingredient for latkes?

[SallyBrown]

Posted: 4/25/05 at 9:16pm

heh no, it's my "upset" noise. Just try to say it out loud as a sound....I don't know how to describe it lol

I vaguely remember Larry Paul. That is going back quite a while. I do remember his art work, though. I am so glad you never had my father as a teacher.....I know he was a good teacher, but I still can't think of him as one. Now Gabe, there was a master Social Studies teacher!

DollyPop-
I looked back to my original post when you pointed out my mistakes, and those definately made me laugh! "can't never".....

I need coffee

or better yet, a beddy-bye book

[Dollypop]

Posted: 4/25/05 at 9:22pm

Liam has already gone beddy-bye. Why don't you follow his example (but not his footsteps) and go to bed. Remember, it's important to lead virtuous lives.
