No. He just hates me. He's ultra-conservative and hates the fact that I'm liberal. He's also a total phony. He goes on and on to the class about how smart he is and writes samples of all our assignments and then grades them in fron to of the class using his own rubric to show us how perfect he is. He uses as many long obscure words as possible in his writing to the point where it doesn't flow. He also uses them incorrectly and can't pronounce them half the time. His writing is almost impossible to understand.

Most of the people in my class sit there going, "Wow, he's so SMART. I feel dumb now. I can't even understand a word he's saying."

And I sit there and think "Wow, his writing makes absolutely no sense..." and he hates me.

Well, I keep myself on Bway....that's why I won't be there...

Mel Brooks says it best:

"The village, Off Broadway. I hate Off Broadway. Mimes, experimental theatre, no parking. It's a jungle down there!"

NTG, I know what you mean and I'm sorry. People like that drive me up the wall. Something similar- I'm a member of my school's literary arts magazine's editorial staff and we'll get really bad poems that are basically big poetic words stuck together at random with no point. The pieces demonstrate no understanding of the meanings of the words or a general purpose of the poem, but people read them anyway and go 'oh wow, that sounds so deep!'. Yeah, it sounds good but if it was really something then the author probably would know how to use the word correctly in a sentance.

NTG - Maybe your teacher next year will realise how good your writing is and bump you up to AP?

he writes his OWN assignments then grades them himself! thats hilarious! obviously he gets a perfect score, he knows what he's looking for! ANYONE WHO GRADES THEIR OWN WORK WOULD GIVE THEMSELVES A PERFECT SCORE.

conservatives that hate liberals annoy me. how is the human race going to move forward as a whole if we don't allow new technologies like stem cell research??? *promises to not get political. i'm stopping. NOW. i promise.*

HAVE A GOOD TIME CAM!!!


NTG - i'd consider it - but i'm scared of your 'rents

Refrain - it's not just schools - pretty much everything is a racket one way or another - you gotta stay awake!

Goodnight Ellie - feel better!

[BEKA531]

Posted: 1/15/05 at 11:22pm

listening to Hairspray at the moment... and who else can see Fredi as Maybelle? If that role ever opens up... that is so you.

Beka, I'm adding to the love of your icon. <3.

I've been lucky enough to have teachers who don't let their personal opinions stand in the way of grading my work. If I've written a respectful essay and backed up all my points, my teachers will usually mark me as well as if I had agreed with them.

Beka, funny story about that. A while ago we had to write a book review. He's reading down his rubric, and the last one is about grammatical errors.

"Nope. No grammatical errors. Absolutely not. You find one, I'll let you use my credit card for a week."

By the end of the class, I had found six...

ohh, gots it, bso.

thankee, som.


i HATE my english teacher too. since i missed school and missed "in class discussions", she's making me do a one page response to chapters 1-16 in catcher in the rye. that's 16 pages. even if i was in class i wouldnt have done half of that amount of work. why can't she just let me read cliffnotes and get it over with? i already have enough out of class work/tests/quizzes to make up without having to make up class time on top of it.

My english professor wrote AND said "more clearer" and "most proudest"

I hope I like my new english prof - I got lucky, my class is about monsters, horror movies, and serial killers (it's randomly assigned)....BUT in my senior year of high school, I did a HUGE report on horror films...
