Complaints About Teachers

My french 4 teacher is horrendous, she has barely taught us anything new since French 3, and over the entire semester we’ve had one test - One. We’ll have a final, but in every other class I’ve had 3-5 tests… one in what is supposed to be a more challenging class is a bit ridiculous. Plus, we’ve had no speaking tests. I haven’t learned much at all, and probably the easiest A I’ve ever gotten, which bothers me since I should have to be struggling a bit to earn the A.

My chem teacher bothers me a bit, but she’s gotten better over the semester, maybe I juts got used to her. You can’t really ask her questions about general chemistry stuff, you have to have specific examples of specific things that you don’t understand until she helps you, and she seems to condescend (or as it appears to me) on kids that ask questions, returning with comments like “We did that in class” or “Read your notes on it”. She’s smart and if you can adapt to her teaching style you’re able to stay caught up… but it’s kind of hard to stay up to date especially if you miss a day or two, which I did unfortunately.

My English teacher is really bad though, but you wouldn’t notice at a first glance. She seems to know what she is talking about, but in essays she has comments like “It’s good, but here are a ton of reasons of why it’s bad”. Basically if you don’t get her the answer she’s looking for in these essays you can’t expect to get any good grades in it. Have not gotten an A on a single essay, and when I’ve had other English teachers review my essays they didn’t see near as many problems as she did. Maybe she just doesn’t like me. She made a girl cry once when she tried “helping” her with her thesis and essay and whatnot in class, and she made me feel bad about myself once… Ironically as I read “One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest” I kept thinking she was very similar to Nurse Ratched…
