P.S. - i have a teacher like mctrayn's. he is new this year and get this.....HE LOST HIS JOB AT THE PREVIOUS SCHOOL FOR SEXUALLY HARASSING STUDENTS. i go to a school with a reputation of having great teachers and good student performance, but this guy is not an example of this. everyday there are 3 people (including myself) who are constantly being yelled at, even if we are not doing anything. at least 4 times a week he sends one of us to ISS (in school suspension) and issuses a detention. this is rediculous. how are we supposed to learn if we spend the entire class period in iss? this is reflected by our test scores.
....also, his teaching strategies are rediculous because he doesnt teach us anything. the only thing he has taught us this year (that we were not told to read in the book before class the next day) is some strange method that he is taking credit for creating. it doesnt make any sense to me along with about half of the class. so what does he do during class? what we do every day in class is go over the homework. i know, this is great because we can just do it during class so we get away with not doing it the previous night, but we do maybe 3 problems out of the 20-30 that he issues daily. so what do i do every day in class? nothing. hide my headphones under my hood and listen to my music and take a nap....and the occasional tetris game on my calculator.
be prepared for complications, i have my dad to look up to...he was kicked out of college in his first semester of his freshman year....he recently started his own business and he loves it but he is having trouble with the people that are close to him....his family isnt a good one, they really are bad people. when i was young and cute i loved my grandparents, i hate them now, they are snobby and they bicker like a pair of 6 year olds. anyways, my dads business has good weeks and bad weeks, this is reflects on his mood (but hes always crazy
) but the way his business is going i will just tell you this:
be prepared to lose some money & for things to work out differently then how you want them to. good luck....
ps - im only 15 and i would love to cut school, but my mom works for the district and i would be screwed....she isnt helping my stress because the second i screw up she is breathing down my back and that just makes me want to just get away, some how...
this board is stressing me out.....lol
