<p>a lot of my pet peeves have already been said, but I think my main pet peeve is people who have no problem telling colleges that they are the captain of many clubs that I solely captain and founded. So annoying, especially because they tell me about it, like I’m supposed to say, congrats, you’ve found a way to snake me. </p>
<p>Just in general when you say something really brilliant, but the teacher didnt hear, then some jackass blurts it out after hearing what you said, and the teacher turns around and congratulates them. </p>
<p>Freshmen arent a pet peeve, their the ideal cattle. Take the time to win the over, be nice, make them think they have the coolest senior friend, and they’ll do what you want them to.</p>
<p>And of course, teachers that obsessively check homework, making it so that you have to do the homework, even if you dont need it to ace the tests. The tests should be designed such that if you have done the homework and know the material, you pass, and if you dont, you fail. So the incentive to do homework is not because it is a portion of your grade, but because you need to do it to learn the material to pass the test. This method is used in college a fair bit, because there is the assumption that you are old enough to motivate yourself to do the work to learn the material. If the amount of work you need to do to learn the material is zero, then so be it. If you choose to not learn the material and not do HW, then that is a poor choice that the tests will penalize you for. That is how it should be - this method will teach kids to be more responsible anyway.</p>
