Unwanted, No Good, Half Ass Teachers

Some of you teachers need to stop being so dull and selfish sometimes. You should understand that when you chose a career path of a teacher also known as mentor, there's always going to be different people with different views, questions, and thoughts. Views on how your subject, questions on your teaching and thoughts. Stop caring about yourself and think about how the students actually feel. If you're having a bad day, what do we have to do with it? I remember each and every single damn teacher that thought it was okay to get up and just leave the students. Leave them in hands of a ’’teacher’’ that didn't even have a degree. And the teacher who thought we could learn by ourselves with just a simple warm up question. That math teacher who got mad at me for asking him to slow down at writing notes. He told us to let him know if it was going too fast, then why would he get mad for. I mean not everyone in the class writes as fast as the chicken scratch he was writing on the board. That African teacher who had the heaviest accent ever, would spend 45 minutes out of an hour class repeating how she introduced herself. Nobody could understand her! You didn't do me any good for math. I seriously had the worst teachers for math class in my k-12 grade years. I should know because I know a great teacher when I'm actually learning something. Ninth grade science teacher also known as not-teaching-the-class-shit-until-the last-month-making-us-watch-movies-and-selling-us-junk-food, jerk. This teacher finally got fired because the principle found out he was sexually harassing a girl. They went to investigate and found out he hadn’t done his job for the past year. But the most horrible teachers weren’t the ones who were too afraid of teaching with passion. The worst ones were the ones who stopped believing in students before they could even raise their hand. Why waste student's time if all you're going to do is complain or not interact at all in the teaching. I hate those teachers who lost hope in me and thought I was just some dumb pretty looking girl. after seeing that I had gotten a question wrong, they stopped calling my name, wouldn’t make eye contact with me and just act like if i wasn't even in the class sitting right in front of their face waiting for my question to get answered so i could put my tired arm down. but they never did. And that scarred me for life. til this day I don't think I'm good enough or smart enough to even be in high leveled classes. after so many teachers had lost hope in me, I started to give in and believe I was hopeless. I started to believe I was actually dumb, probably the only dumb one in the class besides that black dude sitting in the back sleeping. I don't think people are dumb at all, everyone just has a different way of learning. and those people that you think are really smart, they just got enough practice growing up. Every one can be just as smart as the next professor all we need is practice. Some of you teachers are so insecure, it really is crazy. They think people are really going to waste their time and money trying to sabotage the teacher? teachers are so picky about everything trying to deduct points on every little thing you do and she wont tolerate it. its not that big of a deal. if it isn't about learning it isn't important. why would you teachers tell a student how to learn!? they’re not going to learn how you tell them, its going to stick in their minds how they want it to and how its easiest for them not for you ´´teachers´´. What teachers need to do to make things work in schools and things to work with their students to pass is to actually interact with them. Treat them like family. Do things even if it means going out of your way or staying after school for an extra hour. Just let go of the simplest things that don't even matter. stop being so selfish and insecure about yourself and just realize that its not always so easy for the student to learn from your way of teaching all the time.
