Get me a new teacher please

The “pissed” teacher is back!

Can you ever just get irritated with one particular person so much that no matter how much you try, you can’t pay them any respect?

You know that one political science teacher I had who kept picking on me for missing her exams non-stop? Yeah, her. Well, that was nothing compared to her unprofessionalism she shows in class now. She shares her love life in class, is very fond towards a particular group of students and goes drinking with them too.

Tbh none of the students give a damn fuck as to what she is doing. It’s a problem when she shows her bias in class and picks on other students for asking doubts in class instead of showing interest in her private life. She bitches about every teacher with her “friends”, and even students. Example- if A is absent, she will bitch about B and vice versa. Why? Because she wants to be cool. And yeah, they really went to drink together. And we’re all underage.

Every single child in the batch knows how much of a hindsighted, unprofessional, and a biased teacher she is. It’s like she is fulfilling her teenage dreams of being the centre of attention with her current students. One boy in my class even called her out on her face. She got so defensive and screamed that she wasn’t unprofessional and biased. Then she proceeded to explain her bias. We make bets in her class when she will shut her mouth and actually start teaching.

Now, you know me I have never been an ass-kisser. I object when I disagree with her so naturally, she hates my guts. Anytime she approaches me with one of her tactics, I dodge them efficiently. And she gets so irritated when I remain unaffected by whatever the hell she is babbling. Even today, she wanted me to fetch her lunchbox from the staff room so she could feed one of her friends. I denied with a straight, calm face (my default face ngl). I could literally see her confidence drop from her face. She threatened to grade me zero because I “always said no”. I genuinely smiled.

Song of the day!!

Back From the Dead by Josh A & Jake Hill. A perfect track to hype your road trips. Love their perfectly harmonious vocals.

If I were a teacher

I’d put quite a lot of weight on real life, practical skills.

I seldom imagine myself teaching in a classroom. I don’t have any interest in teaching but imagining scenarios that will never take place is fun so why not?

I don’t have any particular subject in mind, I want to educate kids on real life emergencies. Mental disorders, taxes, sewing, putting out fire etc.- things that are crucial for everyone to know about.

See, we need students to learn about such things. They are practical skills that one can encounter anytime unlike the equations we are required to solve in books. Emergencies don’t come after informing and one needs to be aware in order to survive. We have a system that doesn’t give much weight to such issues and keeos the focus on bookish knowledge. But practical knowledge is just as equal, in fact more.

This imagination of mine must be really common and I know I will never do this in real life but I find it really fun imagining it. Walking in the classroom, introducing the topic and have all the 16 year olds interact in a fun, lively manner. Be a fun teacher teenagers know they can interact with and don’t have to be afraid of. Kinda seems nice ngl…only for thoughts though!

Song of the day!!

Shivers by Ed Sheeran. How can you not like this song with upbeat music and lyrics I can never get over. It sounds equally fresh everytime I take a listen.

1st school trip

My experience being stuck with 2 boring people & the lessons I learned.

I was in 7^th grade when I went on my first school trip. We were a total of 23 students including me- 20 boys and 3 girls, all strangers to me. Adventure, yay! The catch? Since there were only 3 girls, we had to always stay together. The teachers said it was because of security reasons. Whatever. The problem arised when I discovered that the other two girls 1. were super boring, judgy & snobby and 2. they were besties. Fuck. Let me tell you, being stuck with 2 people who are always in their own world is not a very great feeling, especially when you want to enjoy. They were clicking photos all the damn time and whenever I wanted to be clicked, they didn’t. They just clicked each other and went ahead! They had their own talks- about their moms might I tell you. They sucked at horror story telling. They were very messy and took literally an hour to get ready. They were super lazy and just wanted to sit at one place everywhere. I seriously explored everything on my own. But I think it is still better than being stuck with 2 dumbos. I got along with the boys. They were cool and much more mature in handling things. But my teacher forced me to be stuck with those girls. And to commute, we had rented a car. But the boys had jeeps. All the boys went in jeeps while I was stuck in a damn car coz we were less and didn’t need a big jeep to carry 3 people! Ugh! Not fair!

Anyways, I enjoyed my trip alone and it was fun. I learned many things, especially determining something’s worth and bargaining. But one thing I will forever remember and want to share is that “Never ever listen to the teacher if she tells you stick with someone or shit. Go ahead and be with people who you actually have fun with! You are here to have fun so enjoy. The rest will be handled later!” Now, the song of the day!!

Daisy by Ashnikko. This song is such a mood. Listen to it and see for yourself how good it is, I don’t want to spoil it for you.
