Class Behavior

It really depends on the class and the teacher. This year in first period, we had the laziest history teacher ever, and when he expected us to do all this work, we openly split up 100 question assignments between groups of ten people to work on them when we weren’t supposed to. And I worked kind of hard at the beginning of the year to do good on tests and test corrections (we had APUSH so the corrections helped make up the killer scores), but soon enough we all realized that he didn’t look at anything, so we BS’ed everything. And my test scores started going down the tubes and he asked why, and I said I was tired from a bunch of other stuff (which I was), but I really didn’t care because it was easy to still pull of an A.

And so when the AP test rolled around, he lost hope in the entire class, so I hoped he is surprised when I get a 4 or 5 (hopefully a 5 since I used every dang page in that essay book), after studying my butt of to do so. I guess I only care when I need to. Oh, and he never counted tardies, so I regularly showed up 10-15 minutes late to class every day, sometimes 30 minutes. And I always brought in Chick-Fil-A every day to eat (and so did the rest of the class). I guess I’m going to be screwed next year when I actually have to show up to school on time.

As for other classes, in Chemistry I sat next to the wall, and set my bookbag up in a way that she couldn’t see me, and I slept through most of the class. Somehow I pulled off a 98 in the end, even though I never listened to anything she ever said. In AP Lit, I actually tried as hard as I could, because she inspired us all to read our books, write our essays well, and try hard. She graded hard, so it really pushed us good, and at least 90% of our class will pass the AP test.

I guess in the end, I try to get all my teachers to like me to some degree. With one exception however, my band teacher. I just hate band altogether, and though I worked hard my freshman and sophomore years, this year I went against him and gave a consistent I-don’t-care attitude. I always made sure to be late, miss band practice for anything that came up (I would wait to make up tests until we had an after school practice), and break a lot of other rules. And I instilled this attitude in my section as I was section leader for the past two years. That’s not to say I didn’t try though. We were still one of the best sections musically and in performance, we just got it done when it absolutely had to be done, but at no other time.
