To The English Teacher Suspended For Threatening A Fellow Student

Don't be a teacher if you aren't willing to do more than the bare minimum.

Dear anonymous,

Not only are you the worst English teacher I have ever had, you are the worst teacher I have ever had. PERIOD.

My experience in your classroom was by far the worst I have ever participated in. May I add, I was an AP student all my 4 years in high school, and this was my first regular English class...so my expectations for my teachers are extremely high. Let's begin with your attitude. You act like teaching your students is a chore, and you don't even pretend to enjoy your job.

Do you realize that your attitude impacts your students? You continuously choose to be a negative influence on every student you teach. You always wondered why your students constantly disrespect you, skip your class, and don't do your homework. Why would they show any effort if you won't?

Secondly, let's discuss your teaching style, which is close to none. Rarely did you ever go in front of the class and teach. Most days consisted of you sitting in your chair while we did worksheets. STUDENTS CANNOT LEARN THROUGH WORKSHEETS! We need lectures, notes, and interaction with each other. But no.

I mean, I know this was a regular class and it shouldn't have a giant workload like an honors or AP class, but you did the bare minimum (if not that, less) to make sure you still had a job. I didn't learn a single thing while taking your class because you were too lazy to teach more than what you were required to. Is this what all regular classes are like? Only teaching students basics to barely get by?

Not to mention, you always yelled at us if you ever saw a sign of life in your classroom. A key part of learning in any classroom environment is student-to-student interaction. What did you find so wrong about that?

Thirdly and finally, you weren't even a likable person to be around. You're barely a person at all, you just seem like a shell. At some points, I thought that you were a sociopath because you have no remorse for any of the hurtful things you say to students regarding a disability, their physical appearance, their thoughts and opinions, their hobbies, etc.

Remember that one time when you threatened a student and got suspended for three weeks? Yeah, you should have been terminated from the school. I have no idea how you're still teaching. If you're not gonna apply yourself to make school a nice experience for your students, then you shouldn't be a teacher at all. You should be ashamed for all that you've done, and you have not done. I hope one day it hits you, but it probably won't.

Sincerely,

Vashti

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
