I don’t understand how the teacher, who is not trained or certified to teach orchestra (Math teacher) is allowed to do so?
I have seen many such idiotic examples at my kids ex-school. Last summer the Football Coach was teaching summer school. Health and Geography, to be exact. Total disaster!
This is why one-fifth of four-year college entrants and one-half of those entering community college need remedial education, at a cost of $3 billion each year.
If the OP is annoyed - he has a right to be. It seems to me that he is interested in learning, but unable to do so, because the teacher is not quilified…
Many parents (and teachers) say that they want their children and students to think for themselves, to speak up… until they do.
If a student’s personal reflection has led to a decision at odds with the teacher, this kid may be referred to as “disrespectful”.
I don’t think OP’s joke was disrespectful. I think the teacher suspects how bad of a teacher he is…unfortunately, the OP is not going to win in this situation. Complaining is going to make it worse…
