hey I need to vent too.
I was in three HS but in the first two, only finished a semaster each, the rooms were often shitty and the material for the important math and science class were worthless, the I don't even think the second one even had a lab.
In my third HS, for two years in a row I managed straight A's and B's despite the fact I spent only a hour on HW combined for all classes. I essentially did nothing but "Reverse engineer" the answers as Sienthal put it. my GPA was a 3.89 or higher for both years, most of the time I just put myself on autopilot for the classes.
The third year was when had a real shithead for english teacher, a who couldn't keep his mouth shut about being old and fat, about he is alway going to be "ticked off" in a very rude tone, if you even tried to complain, he gets into a big shit about him being "Cranky because he is old", if he gives us shitty crap and the class failed, he stated "you are in 12th grade, deal with it" He never bothered to actually teach reading or writing, no "it's not important, I could have a cough and say I am dying but I could hold your grades in the balance and you must say I am angel.
His idea of "taking great notes" as he often talked to you if you were dirt, is to essantially copy down the Grammar book word for word. oh and for those of you who think that the grammar he wanted is the same as grammar for good writing you could not be more wrong, His grammar is learn as he put it "to attach names to shit, as opposed to being able to actually write", I learned better "note taking" and writing skills from my various history classes then following the drivel of that bastard.
that scum made a regular english class harder then a Honors chemistry class, I actually had a easier time memorizing the various chemical formulas then every little crap about his "Proper english" and his Manly crap,indeed I was lucky to get a 78 at the end of the year but managed rather easily to get A- to B- elsewhere with no real effort.
he is PC race baiter to boot, thinking that the word manhole or the normal use of he/she is so sexist but his own atitude is only being "a good tough guy", half the students think he is both a drug addict and a drunk as well, which he is.
I forgot to mention, one only needed to "pass" four class and not fail more then 2 major classes to graduate, the lack of computer training course there is pathetic, you are lucky if you could even get keyboarding, being only a half credit.
vent off.
