Teachers fill so many young minds with the things they need to help become what they want to be in the future.
They supply help and support.
There are always some giggles or great moments that will always be remembered in a class room.
Except one.
Every time I walk into this room, I feel as if my soul is drained of all energy and joy.
It's a trap this teacher sets every day. She takes joy out of our pain, I'm sure.
She laughs behind those creepily glazed, beady eyes.
We cower in fear when she slaps her hands like a retarded seal...
But laugh when she turns around.
Because it's really is quite funny.
Anyway....
I have yet to learn a thing in her class.
Not only that, I feel I'm failing it for the very fact she isn't teaching it.
It's like she's leaving it a mystery to be figured out on our free time.
I don't have any of that.
(As if I'm not wasting it typing this post...)
Everyday, after we endure an hour and a half rant, I run out to the hall.
Usually rolling my eyes and restraining myself from bashing my head to a bloody pulp against the nearest wall.
I see the same vision every day...
I see myself dropping out of high school.
Because of her.
I see myself working at McDonald's.
Because of her.
I see myself having no life.
Because of her.
I see myself pondering what went wrong in my sad little mobile home.
Because of her.
I'm put on medication.
Because of her.
I die alone.
Because of her.
Dear Teacher,
Congratulations. You have killed my mental image for the future.
Because you can't teach.
You should have stayed away from those drugs.
You're messed up.
You're murdering my brain.
Stop it.
Retire.
Die.
I don't care.
I have hope of a life before me.
Leave before you kill whatever little chance it has left.
...
Please?

That's not good if you're teacher can't teach seeing as it's her job. You should go to your principal. Seriously. Or, you could always just cuss of your teacher. (: Anywho, GO TO YOUR PRINCIPAL!!!!!!! Just say that your teacher can't teach. You'd like to switch to another one or something. :D People at my school have had to do that so many times because we didn't like the teacher or something. Once, a teacher got fired because he wasn't grading kids on work, but on their personality. It was horrible. All the shy kids failed, while the loud obnoxious ones got like 90%s and higher. (A+)

I know... But apparently she "experimented" with drugs in her day... Which isn't surprising with how she acts now... Now it's obsessive coffee drinking. And I'm always tired in there, so I'm sure whatever she IS still smoking is probably lingering in the room.
I would, but she has been there for years. I went to the office one day because my history teacher didn't teach us anything and I was going to request that I take 9th grade history online. They said no, because everybody else would want to do it. This would explain why I know NOTHING about our world's history...
Really? It's beyond me on why he was even hired in the first place. That's really sad.
Don't the teachers get checked up on periodically to make sure they are up to "the code"?
Err... I don't know whether the teachers get checked or not. I would think they do though... but not sure.

I know exactly who you're talking about. Yes, she is crazy. BUT you do realize that her husband died last year, after she had to hire a baby sitter & bathe him for the last couple of years of his life because he was extremely sick & could not take care of himself. I would be crazy too. She's actually a very sweet woman. She's crazy, yes.. but I genuinely feel sorry for her. People are so mean to her & it hurts my heart :( You should probably think about the things that other people have to go through before you ridicule them. You should really stop being so negative about everything, and start having a little more enjoyment out of life, because bad things happen very quickly.
No, I was not aware her husband had died. I'm sorry to hear that, but I don't think that's the reason she is the way she is. From what I hear, she has been like this for as long as anybody can remember.
Trust me, I think a lot about what other people go through. I'm not as self-centered as everybody thinks I am. I genuinely care about others. I was truly excited about her class at the beginning of the semester. I looked forward to it, I didn't think negatively of her until she proved to be a bad teacher. That's not something I can help her with.
Maybe I'm just so hard headed that I can't grasp anything, but I can't learn when she teaches. Normally, I blame myself, but nobody else is understanding it either.
You also never know what she's going to do or say. For instance, she yelled at somebody for (what I think) was no reason at all. He was just sitting there and she threatened after school detention.
Another thing: I'm sorry I appear negative all the time. Maybe I am and haven't realized it. I enjoy life, but at the same time I hate it. This blog is for what I want others to know is going on without me actually having to shove it in their face like so many people do.
It's your choice to read my blog and what I think is my own. I've been put down for what I think twice in the past two days and I don't appreciate it. I want to voice my opinion and what I think, but to have people say it's "not my right" or "none of my business" just makes me want to curl up and shut down. If it involves me in anyway, it IS my business and I have a right to talk about it.
I'm sorry to vent and I'm sorry you think I'm negative. I've been working on that. I know bad things can happen quickly. I've had my share and odds are, God is going to shove more at me. Just watch.
I guess all I'm trying to say is that I'm not heartless... I'm really not.
Either way, you should respect her as an authority figure. Usually, when high school kid says a teacher yelled at them for "nothing," it was probably something. I never said that it wasn't your right to state your opinion. I just merely think that you are being disrespectful and rude towards a person who is struggling with her own hardships... just like you are. Maybe she hasn't been "crazy" her whole life. Her husband has been sick for years, btw. I'm not sure how old the people that are telling you these things about her, but I'm sure that as long as people can remember actually is not that long. I think that people have gotten so used to others saying that she is crazy, that people just carry that on. & it's not fair to her, & it really gets on my nerves. So.. my issue is not that you are venting, it's that you're being unnecessarily rude towards someone that you barely know. Maybe, if you'd pay a little more attention in her class rather than criticizing her, & being annoying...then you would learn something!!
I must request to know who you are.
I don't know if he did anything or not, I don't think he did considering he just sits silently in the back.
I know, but somebody said almost the exact same thing in a different blog post.
Maybe. Again, I'm sorry about her husband.
I don't know how long she has been at this school, but you're right. It's not fair to her. Though, if she would prove them wrong then it wouldn't be a problem.
Well I can't help that I'm a bad person. My emotions always get the better of me. I apologize for being annoying. Though, like I said... It isn't something I can help.
I do pay attention. It's hard to learn when the teacher can't teach. I can't read her notes. I'm afraid to ask questions because she will act as if I know NOTHING at all. I already feel I have been stripped of every educational value I could possibly have because I feel so stupid in her class.
Again, I'm sorry I've offended you by being the ass hole I am.
Shelly isn't self-centered at all. She's one of the greatest people I know, and for you to diss her like that, makes you appear to have a shitty personality even though we don't know who you are.
She pays plenty of attention to Mrs. Johnson so she can attempt to learn, but she goes through the stuff too fast and changes too quickly. Her notes don't go together, and are very confusing when you're trying to study them. Don't get me wrong, she's a very sweet woman if you're not going to be sitting in class with her, but she just doesn't know how to be a good teacher.
