So here I am and this is it. I’ll write up again on my blog like I used to about two years ago. Each time I’m in this class ill just pull up a word doc and just go to work on what’s on my mind. Not only will it help me become a better writer but it will help me blow off some steam like I kinda need to sometimes.
FOR EXAMPLE: The other day I was sitting here in my seat actually doing work towards my Eagle Scout rank which I will have by the end of the week when the school s administrator came and pulled me out of class. Back track here a few hours to when I was sitting in the same seat in a different class period. Here I was doing my work like I usually do and trying to do an especially good job with this particular assignment. The class was supposed to do a short editing assignment and at the end of said assignment give the teacher a one slide evaluation. When we were given the assignment me and some other students asked if there was anything we needed to talk about or any criteria or anything or blah blah blah. She said just evaluate her and I took this as an opportunity to tell her some of the things that I thought were wrong with the way she teaches.
Of course this is never a good idea. EVER. But in my perfect world what I expected was after I sent in my assignment then a dialogue would be started between each student and the teacher about what we critiqued her on and why we said the things we did. Maybe come to an agreement between us or something. God I was wrong.
Fast forward now to the office of the school administrator where I sat patiently waiting to hear what I had been summoned for. Usually when I am in the office I don’t expect the worse or that I am going to get in trouble. There I sat, listening attentively, eyes on the administrator, smile on my face… you know the usual behavior that I use when talking to adults respectively. She sits down at her desk and says that my teacher had called for her after I said some very disrespectful remarks to her in my assignment. Then and there my eyes went wide. I could feel the pupils shrink in each eye and the fight or flight since kick in. I concentrated to keep myself under control while I asked all the right questions trying to get to the bottom of this myself.
I didn’t understand. How can I get in trouble for saying what I did? My whole body went numb for a few seconds as I realized what had happened. In my attempt to try and make our already strained relationship a little better I had thrown another monkey wrench in the machine.
Let’s pause here momentarily to explain something. Me and my teacher aren’t on the same page. We never were and now I don’t believe that we will be. Last semester she had that one class that I didn’t care for and used as an off/catch up period. Now I have her 4 times on my schedule and one of those classes doesn’t even technically exist. The week before I had had a nice talk with her about how me and her had our differences and how I was hoping to work past them
Back in the office I held back tears and grabbed my knees to try and refocus myself. The admistrator told me my punishment; a in school suspension. The words echoed and shook the room around me. I looked down at the front of the desk as the administrator took her shots at me. “I thought you were a better student than this. Was I wrong about you?” yea paint me as a criminal why don’t you. I didn’t respond to her spin logic comments and I sat there trying to find my balance as I felt week in my set. She let me go but not after she ran out of degrading comments like that one. I don’t remember the rest of them.
Moral of the story? Never tell your teacher (or boss) what they are doing wrong, ever. Even if they ask you to. It’s not worth it and it never gets anything accomplished. Just give them a satisfactory grade and get it over with. I would tell you guys what I got in trouble for but I’m already sounding like a winey bitch; p soooooo I rather not. The point is that even if what I said was appropriate by my standards or your standards or anyone else standards if it’s deemed inappropriate then none of that matters. You’re screwed. So just don’t do it.
So yea im back to writing on this blog again guys ill add lyrics and stuff later and hopefully soon ill put my self made podcast up on here too. I got a lot of new ideas and some free time to do them in :D spread the word its gonna be epic!!!
