... Sucks (continued from last title)
Yeah, hey sup. I'm about to go all crazy so prepare yourselves. Language, weird sentence structure, and length follows.
So today I was drawing in Japanese class. Like I've done in every class EVER. The teacher walks over and stands in front of me and asks me if this is art class. So of course I realize "Oh fucking hell she's one of those teachers." She says "In Japan they don't allow that, and this is Japanese class so do your work" which of course, I've already done. Then she says something about how I could print some excercises off the internet if I wanted something to do and was done, something about not coming to class if I didn't want, blah blah blah. I stopped paying attention.
She was obviously trying to make me feel embarassed so I'd do whatever the fuck she was saying. But see, I block out embarassment. When something happens that makes me look like a fool, my expression becomes blank and I refuse to feel anything (except for annoyance maybe). That's because embarassment is my least favorite emotion, and I won't allow anyone to try to control me by making me feel that way. EVER.
Now that we have that out of the way, allow me to make several points:
That is the BEST way to make your students hate you. Embarass them, and though they might follow whatever rules you've set up, they will hate you for it. It is a blatant show of disrespect for the student who--I'm speaking in terms of college, mind you--decided to come to class in the first place and actually learn the shit you're teaching and, in my case, was doing nothing to disrupt class. It is my firm belief that if a teacher has a problem with something I'm doing in class that isn't interrupting it at that moment, he or she needs to bring it up after class and to me and me only. We are all mature, reasonable (using the terms loosely, I suppose) adults here.
Which brings me to my next point. Teachers have not had a problem with me drawing in class since something like ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. What the fuck do you think I am, 10? Some people can multi-task. I am one of those people. I can draw and listen to your (horribly accented) lecture. It's the end of ZA WARUDO, I know. 9_9 Oh, and a good point my mom mentioned was, I'm going to this school on scholarships I earned while drawing in classes. Does a 34 on the ACT mean anything to you? No, nevermind--I not really interested in your answer.
And speaking of scholarships, I am the one paying for the class. That means that you are (indirectly) being paid by me. If anything, I'm the one who has the right to tell you what do to. It is not up to you what I do in class (barring flat-out being obnoxious and disturbing other students, of course), or if I even decide to come or do the work. I am paying you to do me the service of teaching me, not ragging on me for doing something that has no relevence whatsoever.
And also. In case you haven't noticed, this isn't Japan. This is in America. And it made me realize how different our societies are. Japan is--mostly, anyway--still incredibly conservative. It's still a male-dominated country, and... excuse me for saying this, there are a lot of elitist bastards over there, from what I can tell. They still kind of have that isolationist mindset. And on another note, I've read a few Asian-American teenagers' journals and things on places like deviantart, where their parents think a life pursuing art is useless and impractical. Those kind of close-minded people really tick me off. I'm obviously biased, due to my love of art and such, but still. To not support your child and threaten to throw them out if they don't start pursuing something "worthwhile"? It's cruel and heartless, and no way to be a parent.
Also, I'm only saying these things from what I've seen, and I am not speaking about ALL Japanese/Asians, just the elitist bastards. I mean no offense to any Asians who might read my journal. (WHO ARE YOU? D8) Unless of course, you're an elitist bastard. Then please, by all means, take offense to it. 8D
Hmmmmm. I think that's it. Oh one more thing: LEARN ENGLISH PROPERLY OR GTFO MY COUNTRY 8|
Japanese things don't seem to like me today. The chopsticks I got to eat my dinner broke when I was trying to get them apart. I had to eat with one and a half chopsticks. D|
Phew! I feel better now. YAY NEW PSYCH COMES ON TODAY AT 10/9 CENTRAL. 8D
