Spring break~
It's finally spring break! No more tech center~!
Anyway, I talked to my counselor about that class. I gave him some of my assignments including a copypasted partnership agreement with random Dorothy Parker poems and a page of sentences of basically nonsense. I placed the poems in four sections and the dumb teacher still didn't call me out on it. I thought that it was pretty damn obvious that she wasn't checking our work. I told him pretty much everything. I talked about how everybody next to me were texting away on their phones. I talked about how only a handful of people still do their work because we know that she doesn't check. How when she was absent, we spent most of the time badmouthing her to the subs who also don't give a damn.
He called up tech and told them about it.
The tech counselor then dragged me to their room and started well... patronizing me. They asked why I'm unhappy. I told them that it's obvious, I'm getting nothing out of the class and the teacher is a joke. I told them that I'm worried about how the students for next year will also have to suffer through this. At that point, they decided to go with a really awkward angle. They said that I cared too much about others. They said that I don't know how to care for myself. They said that I shouldn't worry about others and should focus on how to make myself happy. Amazingly, the counselor over there told me that she understands how I'm feeling. She said that she also had crappy teachers who didn't do their job and frustrated her. But unlike me, she didn't complain. She sat through it and got her degree anyway. She then asked me what I hoped to accomplish by ratting out the tech center teacher.
I was just gaping at that point. I had never been told to take the easy route and just skip on by through such blatant corruption. And here's someone in the educational administration telling me to do exactly that.
I talked to my counselor about this again. He told me that they admitted that their teachers suck but that they'll essentially go on ignoring it. Apparently, they also think that I'm trying to incite a riot or a rebellion or something. Hn, so they're casting me as an caring, Xena-ish warrior for justice. Ignoring the fact that I'm a 5 foot, less than 90lb Asian girl who's characterized by every other one of her teachers as quiet and extremely shy. I wonder if I should be flattered.
What a disgrace that place is.
Anyway, I should be glad that my regular school is so awesome.
Oh. In happier news, I finally have some ideas for some icons.
I've been so uninspired lately *sigh*
