Annoying **** Your School Does
- Thread starter NursePhantump
- Start date
its more like my teachers who do annoying things
they always say "enjoy your weekend!" and "dont work to hard!" or "make sure you get enough sleep" and then assign a **** load of homework? I basically get a one day weekend now. thanks for your concern teachers.
They always treat the international students better than us - they get food parties and arent scolded enough when they're rude and use their phones all they time.
Since i go to a christian school - bible class is mandatory as well as small group(discussing chapel stuff) and its awkward because they assume everyone's a christian. My small group leader would ask me a question and I can't just say that I dont agree with it or smt. So i just have to pass and it affects my participation grade.
Once in middle school, it was super hot and we asked the teacher to turn on the ac. She went kind of crazy and kept shouting that she would only do so if everyone took off their sweatshirts. I couldnt though because i wasnt wearing the school uniform shirt and i got a refferal. My fault mainly but what if I didnt want to take it off for another reason? If it was personal then i would have had to explain myself in front of the whole class. She needed to chill.

Ahhh, where to begin. I hated my days in public school. Teachers who freely admited they became teachers to get revenge on the children who's parents picked on them in school, flooding so bad that I had to wade in ankle-deep water to get to my locker, teachers who gave detention for literally no reason then didn't show up for the detention they had assigned, being forced to fail a test because I had the flu and no transportation to take it after class, teachers convicted for having child pornography or relationships with students, and the school administration literally not knowing what the requirements were for students to graduate, which led to so much stress and taking extra, unneeded classes.
College was a bit better, but they did have a bad habit of hiring professors who did not know the content they were teaching and had a bad attitude towards students, hiring professors who were just professors so they could show off how smart they are and be mad at us for not being as smart as them, and leaving the air conditioning on during winter. Where I live, the average temperature in winter is about 5 degrees Fahrenheit. We don't need the AC on, jerks.

When my secondary school became an academy, it changed quite a bit:
- This point was before school changed, a one off happened in year 7 where I was called into this group out of class- and it was obvious that it was for the more quieter kids (they were probably deeming us almost socially inept/anxious or something like that) I was shy back then and I have social anxiety now so they were sort of right but the group was frustratingly awkward and I preferred being in class to that encounter- the teacher was nice though, he was punny and made us cringe when he was the announcer on sports day.
- Non uniform days were scrapped almost entirely, they even got rid of activities week- a week or two before the end of the school year where we tried different and fun things and went on a trip to a theme park, funnily enough trips to the theme park were kept. Fundraisers too were also non existent (i.e. bake sales for events like Comic Relief and Children in Need).
- They focused more on our uniform than our actual education or behaviour.
- Teachers chopped and changed every few months, maybe a year or two at most (considering my year 10 and 11 form tutor left when we finished school). And three instances came from this:
In year 8 we had Technology (Textiles to be exact, never enjoyed it much though, I always enjoyed Food Tech and Woodwork more) and this teacher screwed me and my friend over incredibly. We provided ourselves with stuffing from an old toy of mine which I never liked and were accused of stealing it, the whole inicdent was resolved with my mum talking with the school (and I got back at this whack teacher by taking some cool looking green and red material as revenge).
Year 9 French was an absolute joke, our actual French teacher gave half the class detention for not covering our books (with laminate or something to that effect) and I skipped that detention with a friend and the dumb teacher forgot the next lesson. She was then replaced by someone who could not handle the class, she hardly kept us under control, even when we shoved past her to get to lunch and only three boys were caught and got told off.
Science in year 9, 10 and 11 were the worst, having a permanent Science teacher for us were next to nothing. And one our favourite science teachers left us halfway through year 9, leaving us with some monstrosity of a man who half the class nicknamed "the Gruffalo" and we were forced to depend on the teacher who taught us on Fridays... but then he left and a P.E. teacher taught us on Fridays and it made no sense. "I know what I'm doing." she said along the lines of as she sat on a stool in gold trainers, pressing next on a pre-made powerpoint while half the class was still writing notes from that slide and were then ultimately left half finished. Year 10 was also a nightmare after another favourite teacher abandoned us and after some substitutes we were forced to listen to a women whose voice could cut glass (and I'm pretty sure she was the first teacher who hated me because Science turned into some sort of toilet nightmare but I despised the living hell out of her) and another women who thought we'd all get a kick out of watching Limitless- whether that was for entertainment before the summer holidays or learning in class I will never know. Before having a decent teacher to prepare us quickly for our GCSEs we had a monotonous and boring science teacher at the beginning of year 11 which had me wanting to bash my head against the desk to get my brain falling out. To think I passed both Core and Additional Science GCSEs still amaze me.
- And last but not least was how they run the Sixth Form (to which I tried to fit in after attempting college but failed). I was forced to take classes I didn't want to do because the small amount of students who actually stayed on and I was expected to catch up with little to no knowledge on the work at hand. I had to rely on a former friend of mine for help in ICT while our teacher hardly did anything or explained things that were made even more confusing because "omg, what is simplified English?". I should mention that there were two of us in that "class". It was infuriating. Busniness Studies was the most confusing and the most boring lesson I've had to endure and along with ICT it made me feel like I was going to get nowhere in my life if I followed my dreams and aspirations. But at least I liked Media Studies right? And with that the last and smallest thread was cut and I fell down a long way which now cause me problems with my mental health- I forced myself to skip school one day and worried everyone because I cut contact with them for most of the day, only texting my dad about the whole ordeal because I didn't want to let my mum down. And I suffered panic attacks on the journey to meet with school with my mum, I never went because the feeling of going back to a place that was making me feel sick was too much... two years later and I am still incredibly bitter about how my school said they'd help me but never got their support. I want to be in education but I doubt they'd find a way around me and my problems, I'd be too much of a burden for them now.
Anyways, this post got too long too fast and I apologise but I suppose pointing out flaws of my former school does give me some sort of kick out of it. I've even told a couple of boys when I was at work to avoid the school at all costs and I'm not afraid of publicly shaming it, hell, I'm even willing to tell anyone who lives in England (and moreso London) so they can avoid that toxic dump which I want to burn until only ashes remain.
