My english teacher and I had a bit of a... dispute today.
It started with her telling me to take notes. Uhh, yeah right. I'm not going to waste ink or paper or energy writing down vocabulary like "commitment."
I think I know what that means.
And so I told her that. And then she tells me I could at least put some effort into the class, and answer her questions and help the others. And she comments on how her inspector (who "grades" teachers every semester) commented on how it's a shame that "the american" only said 3 words during the whole class period, and 3 wrong words at that.
I could not help but blow up on her. I'd been bottling things in for too long.
First of all, I'm not going to answer every one of her oral questions. Obviously I know the answers, and obviously I can speak english. There would be no point in me being the know-it-all-american who doesn't give anyone else a chance to answer.
Secondly, there is no way the inspector said anything about me. He has no place in doing so. And besides, the class period that he sat in on was one where I spoke the most. Because my teacher basically used me to make herself look good. She should be thanking me for that.
Thirdly, she just sucks at english. Alright, that's not true, for being french she speaks english very well. But it's not even funny how many times a day I could (and should... and from now on, will) correct her.
Too bad I didn't get all that out. I got through the first point, then she cut me off and... I honestly don't even remember how it ended I was so flustered. And so many things were left unsaid.
But at least now she nows that I hate her. I'm sick of being the submissive student.
UGGHHH SHE FRUSTRATES ME SO MUCH!!!
