Teachers
School is interesting. Mostly because of my teachers.
Mr. Schuessler, my biology teacher, is a nice guy. He’d probably be toward the top of my “teachers I like” list. He’s got good policies. Some of the more interesting/unusual ones being
1.) You can listen to your iPod in class, but you can’t blame anybody if you miss something.
2.) Late homework can be turned in before Mr. Schuessler leaves for full credit.
Now a few days ago I had a half-completed homework assignment that I’d brought to biology class. It’s one of those “this takes a minute” homework assignments. So Mr. Schuessler was going around checking people’s assignments. When he got to mine, I asked.
If I get it to you by the end of class, could I get credit?
Nope, sorry bud.
Whenever in disbelief, I have the tendency to ask “really?” So I did. I received confirmation that he wasn’t lying. So that kind of made me angry that he didn’t follow one of the policies he declared at the beginning of the year….
My World Civilizations teacher probably ranks toward the top of the “teachers I don’t quite like” list. Earlier this year I had turned in the terms a bit late for one of our units. A few days ago I was the last one out of class. She stopped me, and asked
Hayden, you turned in your terms, right?
Yeah
I responded in a surprised tone, guessing that she had somehow lost them or something.
OK, just wanted to make sure, because you tend to turn them in late.
What? What kind of comment is that? I only turned in my terms late once in the entire year. I walked out of the door and laughed to myself at how offensive she tends to be.
Mrs. Micksch, did you get any complaints this week? OK, because you tend to offend people a lot.
