Welcome to Gaia! ::

My geometry teacher...

I've never really liked her, I don't like the class, and I really don't like math.
I'm not good at it and I don't really respect the ideas of numbers and stuff...

So today was the last day before Spring Vacation.
When I got in there we did our daily warm-up s**t and we turned it in, then she said get out your homework and I thought, "WHAT THE ******** turns out that worksheet she gave us yesterday was, in fact homework, and there was something else she assigned that we didn't have to do if we didn't want to... I got the two confused but I had done the worksheet except for two problems.
All the questions I had done were right and I just left the other two blank.

Then we had our test.
I knew it had been coming and studied for it.
I thought I did really well on the test and I showed all my work.
I only had trouble on two of them.

At the end of class and I got up to go get my class ring, which we were getting today, she held me back with a nasty look on her face.
I asked her what was up and she showed me my homework.
She said why it wasn't done and I didn't want to tell her I got it confused with the other thing because I thought would lead to trouble.
She snapped at me for not coming in and getting help on the problems and then she said I hadn't shown any of my work.
I said I did it all in the calculator.
She said that wasn't good enough, even if they were right--and then she showed me HER paper with all her work on it and talked to me like I should had done everything like her.

Then she shows me my test--it was a 63.
She asked if I studied, I said yes.
She said she didn't believe me and she also added, "and I don't think your PARENTS will either."
She continues by saying her son studied for the test for an hour and a half and he'll still need to work on it to be better.
Then she said I was excused and I bitterly said, "Have a nice vacation..."

So I was really bitter the rest of the day and I think she emailed my mom.
Honestly, that teacher worships her family.
Her son is nothing like me!!
No one can compare us!
She acted like a bloody communist when she showed me my test and paper, "Why didn't you do it like this?!?! Oh mah goossshh!!!"

So my moms going to come home pissed off at me and probably take away my privileges during Spring Vacation.
I don't know what to do except actually stand up for myself and flat out say that the s**t I learn in that class is going to get me anywhere in life I want to go.
I want to be a writer and a History Teacher.
I don't need to learn Geometry and Algebra crap.
All my other grades are fantastic and I've been doing bad in math since fifth grade.
I'm tired of them yelling about my math grades and I'm sick of that teacher... and math all together.

Plus my crush ain't going so great either because I'm totally hopeless.

HAVE A GOOD SPRING BREAK BABEL sad

I'll try and make a comparison, but it might not work.
I'm good at math. (I'm good at everything but thats not the point) In fact, I'm probably one of the best damn mathamatician in the school, including the teachers.
And I passed a calculator to a classmate, who dropped it. It hit the metal leg of the chair and made a bit of a noise. My teacher basically ran up to me and shouted into my face that if I messed around in class one more time I'd be moved down a set.

Seeing as I'm in the top 2.5% of the UK, I'm guessing it was a false threat. However, the point still stands. That teacher's had it in for me for the past two years.
Any noise in the class - my fault.
If someone talks - I'm distracting them.

Some teachers are just like this and there's nothing you can do about it.
I think if you had a nicer teacher - one you respected - you'd be better at maths.


On the crush side: What's happening now?
Remember - Confidence is Key.
