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

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
