fuck drama!
My drama teacher, Mary, is a fool. The whole class has been having problems with her for a while. She thinks she can just leave class and go do other things because "F-block is the only time I can schedule meetings.". Screw that. Its our class, and she needs to be there for it. Last week, I was waiting to ask her a question (she was actually in class for once) and she basically said that a group of kids and I were slacking off, and that "I'm not here to babysit.", when that is exactly what she has this senior named Sam do. Today after I presented my scene, I made a speech about how I felt about this whole situation, and she didnt let me finish it, and she thought the issue was leaving Sam in charge, which it is partially, but the main issue was her lack of attendance. I told her Sam had no control over the class, and she turned that into us misbehaving, which is bullshit, because she isn't there to see how class goes. After the class and I made it clear that the Sam in charge thing was not the issue, I statred to talk again, and she interrupted me every couple sentences, So I told her that respect is a two way street, and basically not to interrupt me again. I then rolled with that analogy and told her I felt that we were putting a lot on our end, and not receiving from her end. It also pissed me off that she told me that I didn't have authority to speak for the class, which I actually did, because I had already talked to everyone in class (Mary was absent for this) about how I was going to make this speech, and they all agreed with me. I told her that, and I was backed up by the class, and she said, "Well you can say how you feel, and they can nod their heads in agreement.". She went on to tell me "Thanks for bringing this problem up, because it is something, we, as a class have to talk about. ". She then basically told the class and I that we were wrong about her behavior and we didnt understand. I was so angry. I had cold rage the whole time. I started doing nervous things with my hands, but I managed to keep myself calm. It pisses me off that she can't look at her own behavior. She gave me a B- last quarter, and I understood why, because I was able to look at my own behavior. Maybe this whole thing is egotistical, but I think she is just being a goat, so untill she changes, I refuse to participate in her class, and I encourage other people in my drama class to do the same.
