I go to a Southern, Conservative, In-breed, Community School
where football teachers coach math
and English teachers view rape as a "controversial" topic.
I go to a school where the creative writing teachers are the only ones talking about The Importance of Education and Politics. I love that class.
Everyday, in my math class I have "homicide-oriented" thoughts.
I would never and have never considered murder.
I try everyday to mentally chop up my
bible-preaching-lunatic-of-a-football-teacher-coaching-math-who-uses-crude-offensive-sexist-discriminatory-humor-to-deflect-his-flaws.
he sings a praise and worship song on Fridays at my school and sells pizza-
calls it "Fellowship of Christian Athletes"-
spends 35 or 40 minutes counting his pizza profit at the beginning of class
and then asks for our undivided attention.
I want to say, "If I were looking at you as a representative of Christ, I would want nothing to do with him." but I don't.
last week
he is absent for days in a row
he fails to give us notes on chapter five
lessons
6
7
8
9- was there even a section nine?
but expects us to pass
the open-notes
chapter 5 test.
sections 1-9
everyone
in the class
-with the single exception of a foreign exchange student who has already taken the class in another country-
fails.
There is something wrong with a teacher when 96%-and that's being nice- of his class fails the first test of the new quarter.
He says,
"I'm not going to teach for the rest of the week...This is a working relationship...you work for me, and I'll work for you...since none of you have been working this past nine weeks, I'm just not going to work either. "
I am frustrated. The idiot asks for my individual opinion. Teachers should never asks for their students' public opinions.
My opinion: Which felt about as big as it looks-
Dear Coach Dean Howell,
I think it is highly immature of you to decide you are going to take the same approach to teaching this class that your students take to being in this class. If I am immature, my grade will go down. That should be a lesson well learned. When you are immature, and decide you're simple "not teaching this week", your paycheck doesn't go anywhere. I'm sure if it did-you would quickly change your behavior-modification theory. I think our district needs to stop hiring football teachers to coach math. Judging from your awful case of arrogance, I would suggest your re-read, in context, some of that same Bible you throw into your classroom discussions. You have a sick attraction to watching people get frustrated. You like to be in control. You give pop-quizes with three questions on them, all the while knowing that in math, it is very easy to make a small mistake. You like knowing that if I make one small mistake, I fail the quiz. I'd like to know who hired you and which parent of yours they graduated with?
but because he asked
I openly gave it to him.
He shouldn't have underestimated me.
