Teachers -- What A Topic...

Before I began I'd like to share a song I randomly Googled.

Song: Teacher I Need You
Artist: Elton John

I was sitting in the classroom
Trying to look intelligent
In case the teacher looked at me
She was long and she was lean
She's a middle-aged dream
And that lady means the whole world to me

It's a natural achievement
Conquering my homework
With her image pounding in my brain
She's an inspiration
For my graduation
And she helps to keep the classroom sane

Oh teacher I need you like a little child
You got something in you to drive a schoolboy wild
You give me education in the lovesick blues
Help me get straight come out and say
Teacher I, teacher I, teacher I, Teacher I need you

I BET HE NEVER HAD TEACHERS WE HAVE NOW. I MEAN ELTON JOHN, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!

*ahem* Oho, don't even let me get started with the thousand and one facts I dislike about teachers. But somethings deserve ermm...Let's keep it as recognition. Yeah, somethings deserve to be known to EVERYONE.

If memory serves me well, which I doubt so now, I didn't have a personal experience with a teacher being outright unreasonable. And I hope I never encounter something like that. Spare me please...

ANYWAY I'm not going to lay a finger(Hou laoshi struck me hard when I was typing this) on who I'm referring to as to not blemish their already horrid reputation. It's for me to know and you to find out. So GO FIGURE!

So anyways this is the period of Common Tests. But the way the school seems to react or set, the early releases, the no lessons besides the tests, the different teachers invigilating besides your respective teachers, so on and so forth... Everything just screams EXAMS. It's just a COMMON TEST. Sheesh! And it seems as if the teachers enjoy us to be in agony or stress-mode. And what's up with that damn contradiction of, "I DON'T WISH TO REMIND YOU, but your common tests....." Like no hard feelings there! We totally don't mind you repeating that blasted line 20 times over. That shows that teachers are mocking us. Rawr.

Moving on, so anyway we had Social Studies Test and our tables were arranged. Unfortunately for Denise, she got herself a very unstable table(Hah, Alliteration). Denise then switched her table with another one. I admit she kinda did it a little loudly which got the teacher's attention. I'd understand if the teacher scolded her for being noisy, but nope! She was scolded for switching tables. LIKE HELLO?! WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE! There are more than 10 unused tables in class. And her table was shaking like no one's business. I mean pardon her for getting a less shaky and distracting table, I never knew the shakier the table, the higher marks you get! Which belief is that considered? Fengshui? Fortune-tellers? I wonder.

Fine, probably that was not SO BAD that I needed to get irate about, but read on and you'll understand why.

So our form teacher. Let's keep it as you-know-who. Which reminds me, Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows the 7th book is coming out! -gets impatient-
Okay so you-know-who, was telling her class that Maths CT will be on the 26th Of Feb, the following Monday. Apparently she had written it down on a piece of paper to remind herself no doubt... She even made sure everyone heard her clearly and jotted it down. So now everyone thinks that maths test is on Monday, despite the schedule saying that's on Friday. But if you want to go against you-know-who, you know what will happen to you.

So ANYWAY, everyone went around saying that you-know-who said the test is on Monday, and it reached the ears of Mrs Wong( I'm not insulting her so I might as well). So Mrs Wong went up to you-know-who and asked if it was true.
DRAMA STORY ALERT!!-- Then you-know-who WAS FURIOUS! She scanned the class with eyes bigger and redder than the sun. Her anger crescendoed into maximum mode and her body swelled up.
"When did I say maths test is on Monday?" She seethed.
"You did! Last maths lesson!" The students beseech
"No! I didn't! You were suppose to check your own schedule!" She fumed, her face quickly sweltering.
"YOU DID! YOU TOLD US! SEE!" The poor student whimpers to show You-know-who her diary.
"NO I DIDN'T! I don't even have the paper which says it!" --GASP! LETS STOP HERE AND CONSIDER FOR A MINUTE. Did we mention anything about paper? NOPE! Coincidence? I think not! Slip of the tongue more like it!!!!

Bottom line to the teachers, you think we are disrespectful, rebellious towards you. But you tell us, "Respect is 2 ways" or "It takes 2 hands to clap". We're obviously trying our best to respect or clap but people just don't take their own advice.

Well here's some tibits for YOUR SOUL: LISTEN TO YOUR OWN ADVICE. NO POINT ASKING PEOPLE TO DO THINGS YOU SAY WHEN YOU DON'T DO IT YOURSELF.

That's all! What should I rant about next....?
