Definitely interesting.

Well.

Today, for the first time in my life, I've transfered out of a class.
In the same vein... this is because of the teacher. (As a pretext, this is the first year for a while that she's taught it-- for over 15 years, my mom has taught the class, and this is why a lot of us joined the class. We like my mom's teaching style.)

Dirksen, however, is an absolutely horrible, HORRIBLE teacher-- she assumes we know everything about the subject, in which case I must ask: why does she think we're taking the class? She gave us an assignment not even I understood (and not to brag, but, I actually am one of the smarter people in the school) and then asked us to answer an abstract question about it-- and when almost none of us got it done, she said that "it's not my job to bug you about it, so I hope you get it in on time".
I drew a caption to a doodle I was doing, of one of my characters with a sad, confused, kind-of angry face:
"It may not your job to hound us, but it is your job to actually teach us."

I showed it to a friend next to me. He, and a few other people around me, have thought that they should use it to head a petition to make it so my mom teaches it again next year.

So I've both decided to avoid the trouble, and become the head of a hopeful-revolution.

This is odd.
