Alright, so really, is it a teachers fault if a student is too sorry to do the work?
Prime Example:
There's this guy i know, his name is Chase, i've known him for foreverm we're friends. He is the worst person about looking for a scapegoat. He has this teacher, Mrs. Evans, she teaches math. She's been teaching for 30 something years and has never changed her method...because it WORKS. Sometimes, she'll leave out a step, because she can do it in here head, it might be as simple as showing when she moved something over or subtracted something, but thats okay, cause she's been teaching for 30 effin years. Chase, has decided it is HER FAULT he isnt doing well in the class. Let's not mention the fact that chase isnt too bright to begin with. I told him its his fault, for not asking questions. As Mr. Bell, my band teacher, says "A raised hand equals knowledge." But NOOOOOOOOOO, it is HER JOB to make sure he understands...excuse me but that is bullshit. She can help you understand, but only if you say your dont. Teachers arent mind readers, swallow your damn pride and ask a friggin question every now and then. *sigh*
The ignorance of my generation never ceases to amaze me. The majority of us shall live life with our hands by our sides...gaining only ignorance. I choose knowledge, and will raise my hand.
