I seem to be using this icon often lately.
My friend posted on Facebook about how she's still angry that our history teacher once came to school with shingles, knowing he was sick, and gave her chicken pox. (The two are related, for those who are confused on how that happened. I was when I first heard this story.) So we're commenting away about how he could be funny sometimes, but was generally irritating.
And then he decided to come in and comment, days later, with this:
"Brandie, that was a tactic to try to get you guys to pay attention. The SOLs are purely memorization, not learning, and get to be quite boring. Take trying to get everybody to advance and do well on them, and actually teach at the same time, and it is quite challanging (and stressful, I might add). Brittany, sorry your life isn't perfect."
Only some of us got advanced, and it was not due to him, we all agree. And yes, that is totally just copy and pasted, posted by a teacher on a former student's page. This is the same man that went on and on about the Revolutionary/Colonial Period (and was even a reenacter, this man will die a virgin) and Penn State, because they are both so awesome. He spoke in monotone so much he could have taken Ben Stein's job. So yeah, we don't like him and he's butthurt. You'd think he would have realized that earlier...
.
I will give him that standardized tests are really just memorization, though.
ETA: ... He sent me a fucking message.
"What you wrote, since I am simply appalled at the topic on that wall and have since removed said person from my friends list, but I can tell you this, I find your comments quite surprising and unfortunate. I'm sorry learning U.S. history is not your thing."
I'm simply appalled that he went to work with shingles.
