That Romeo and Juliet flash is the funniest thing ever...
My English Teacher is such a bitch. She is obsessed with proving her superiority over us. She doesn't allow opinions. To her, we are uneducated non-people who are not entitled to opinions. Not until we have PHDs are we considered to have valid opinions. She also enjoys humiliating people in front of the class. She will make your errors known and treats us like garbage, and that we should but never will be on her level of perfectness anytime soon.
One example was awhile ago, I asked her what the word "syntactical" meant. She just glared at me. "It means grammar, Joey. You should know things like that. I don't know how you made it through 12 years of school if you can't figure out simple words like that." The hell? Screw you, bitch! Not many people know that, I would think. She says that same line to my friend next to me quite often.
I also mention that she spelled a word wrong in a handout she gave us. She glares at me again, and says that she didn't. The word was "Skillful" spelt "Skilful". She sternly tells me that it can be spelled both ways, and leaves. I grumble to myself, but she comes back a few minutes later, with a bloody DICTIONARY. She ponits out how wrong I am, by proving that it can be spelt both ways. Then points out syntactical in the dictionary and says to look it up rather than ask, reiterating how foolish I am. YOU'RE THE DAMN ENGLISH TEACHER! TEACH IT!
Then, she says to me that she has worked hard to get to where she is, and not to diss her spelling as she takes great pride in it (oh, but apparently, it's okay to diss my vocabulary) and that I am a mere student, and am not in the position to tell her anything, and I quote "Come back in ten years with a PHD, then I will shake your hand". Yeah, I'll slap you in the head with it, you dumb bitch!
Finally, she annoucnes to the class the importance of knowing certain words and that you should know them by now. I simply remark "I just wanted to know what the word meant..." She is cocky and snarky beyond belief. She actually scolded my friend for not putting down some chairs, and said it would have been a mere favor to her, to return the favor to him which she could have easily refused to do. What favor? He said she marked him absent, when he wasn't. THAT'S NOT A FAVOR! YOU MADE A MISTAKE! He wasn't absent, so fix it! He's entitled to it!
Lastly, in my rant about this terrible teacher, she even points out the most trivial mistakes. I was doing a presentation for a project, in which I said " We did our project on-" And she pipes up" No no no! I'm sorry, you didn't already do you project. You are DOING your project. This is the presentation right now, you can't say you did it on something already. Shut the hell up! God, what's her problem...
