College is DUMB
Today I feel like dropping out. gahhhhhh!!!! All of my teachers have decided to be nit picky about every little grammar/punctuation/word usage error possible. Seriously. I am sorry if you don't understand the point I am trying to make because I didn't use a possessive apostrophe. Please come talk to my Language Arts methods teacher and she will testify to you that students were NOT TAUGHT these types of things correctly in elementary school and as a result many college students have a lack of these skills. THANK YOU. totally not my fault. Also that the way we talk is reflected within our writing and that means the words, totally and so WILL be used incorrectly to Websters dictionary definition which is really detonated writing. I like to write with to connotative meanings of words. cool? Also, this semester I have the most demeaning teach I have ever had in my life... Every day she talks to us like we are a bunch of 4th graders because that's what she used to teach. And then today I had a question and had to ask it 3 times because her back was turned to us after she taught a new concept. She then proceeded with the same definition she had previously given which I knew was wrong. So we moved on to centers (because we are elementary students) and then in her own notes of one of the centers I proved her wrong. Very nicely I might add. I just pointed out the two things I was confused on earlier and said this doesn't match what you just taught, did it change or am I just totally confused. She said oh! I'll have to reteach it and correct myself on Monday. too bad she had to correct herself today also from the lesson on Wednesday. And then as we were cleaning up our centers I asked another question and I said it out loud twice because we were cleaning up she was walking around. and she didn't answer. she proceeded to end class and then came up to me got like 6 inches from my face and with a stern demeaning voice said I don't mind answering your questions but do not interrupt me during instruction time. GASP! I was shocked, embarrassed, and totally upset. She explained the concept and then I left, I am sure the whole class heard her discipline my question asking skills. I got in the car and cried! gahhhhhhhh. so irritated. It doesn't help that I had just received a presentation in my educational psychology class that talked about how you shouldn't do that to a girl student because they are emotional but boy students need that which she would know if she was any sort of a good teacher. so for now I will SUFFER through this semester because I want to be a part of these future students lives and I want to make the sort of difference that my teachers are not making on me this semester. They should learn to love to learn and not be afraid to ask questions or question what I am teaching. now this rant is over. go see this super intense movie called Chronicle because Jake loved it and I closed my eyes for the last 20 minutes.
*and yes, I am sure this post is full of grammatical errors. but sometimes even my English major husband can't always edit everything I write or doesn't always know the correct grammar. so SUCK IT.
