exsqueeze me?!?!
I just got the grades back for my final assignments in my online summer class. My last paper was a performance report for a play we saw. I got a perfect score (of COURSE ;) but the teacher felt it was necessary to include THIS on the grade sheet:
"Well supported paper. I don’t agree with your point of view but you are entitled to your opinion. But I want to make sure you understand the difference between taste and quality.
I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy the production. It’s interesting as individuals we tend to be either modernist or post-modernist in our view of the world. Modernists tend to prefer a clear meaning and purpose while post-modernists tend to appreciate fragmentation and collage. I think it is important that you understand that your report reflects your personal taste. This isn’t a bad thing. I just want you to be aware of this fact.
I chose this piece because I knew it would be challenging to the majority of students in this class. But there is an audience out there that appreciates this work."
what the fuck!?!?! THAT IS SO OFFENSIVE! What kind of teacher asks you to write a critical paper on a play and then proceeds to tell you that your opinion is a reflection of the fact that you didn't get it!?!?!? Not to mention that he admits that my paper was well supported! Way to get your feelings hurt and lash out at a student.
Also, you don't understand Post Modernism.
I may send him an email about this. It seems extremely inappropriate to me, and the asshole already gave me a B I didn't deserve (but can't really fight) anyway. How RUDE!
