I laughed so hard at this one. It's so true at my school. My friends call the hall monitors that patrol the south end of the school and the upstairs the "Nazis" and we sneak past them every day to get to the computer lab.
- Not exactly a pet peeve, but teachers who go as far as bullying students.
This is really sad. We always push the image of one student bullying another, but I think teachers make students feel like crap just as much as other students.
* When you eat food and the people close toy you are being unearthly savages.
Haha that made me laugh so hard. There's always that kid that pulls out a freaking subway sandwich and gobbles it down like he is a T-Rex that hasn't eaten in a week.
*When you don't finish your homework and the teacher says "Meet me after class,"
Sucks and I agree. Some teachers don't understand that MOST STUDENTS CAN'T DRIVE THEMSELVES EVERYWHERE YET. Staying after school means either being stranded at the school for several hours or having to hitchhike with some shady kid from your chemistry class.
* When teachers assign like 10 projects in the last week of school.
First one is how you know if a teacher is really cool at heart. The best teacher at my school works us hard all year, yells at the administration and the incompetent fools who plan the assemblies, then after the AP test just has us play risk for the rest of the year. xD
* When a supervisor / teacher gets mad at you for something you didn't do.
I SWEAR the only requirement to be a substitute is to have a pulse.
- " The bell doesn't dismiss you, I do "
Just look at that statement next to this one and cry: "The bell has rung, therefore you are tardy." DOUBLE STANDARD DUMMY TEACHER! *shakes fist...
Homework/having to study for tests over the weekend ( There is a reason why we have weekends you know...)
That's actually a great point. In my opinion, school should be like a job. After all, aren't we supposed to be getting ready for our future careers? I think that school should be a little longer, but have close to no homework afterwards. Maybe there could even be a required study period in every student's school day? I know France is currently trying a system like this, but I haven't heard how effective it is.
I think a system like this would greatly reduce stress on students and allow them to get involved more in their community and school.
Anyways, I think my biggest pet peeve is the blatant propaganda that gets shoved down our throats at school, such as the notion that all you have to do to be successful in life is go to college for a few years, when in reality, it takes a lot more than that. They also used to tell us that America is hands-down the best country in the world. I think it's a great country, but that statement seems very opinionated. I've also seen teachers shamelessly promote their own religion and political views. Don't get me started on the "anti-bullying", "anti-videos of a adult nature" and "anti-internet" assemblies that just make a fool of the school and make me want to slam my face into the wall...
