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

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
