i once heard a story about a teacher that always seemed to give the most random grades. he gave D's one day and A's the next to work which deserved the exact opposite. anyway at a school reunion a former pupil asked his former teacher about the erratic grades and it turned out that this teacher had never marked a paper in his life. thge story goes that he couldn't be ar$ed and had the cunning idea of dropping the papers on a flight of stairs. he graded the papers by which stair they landed on. e.g. a paper landing on the first step got a A, the second stair would get a B etc....
very novel method of marking, maybe you should ask you teacher if this is HIS prefered method as well 😉

First, I'll make it clear... my main aim is to get sympathy from you people.
So, here's what happened today:
In my geography class, at the beginning of each lesson, one person has to go up to the front and say what we did last lesson. Today was my turn, and I spent a lot of time studying. I was gonna bring my book to the front, as we had discussed some ...[text shortened]... , I now have to go and talk to the guy again.
God, I hate school!
Do you think this is fair?
*hug*
You can always have his knees broken. I hear that works well, as a form of revenge. 🙂
Originally posted by angie88No fair and not surprising. Keep in mind roughly half your teachers are going to be good hard working people who really want to make adifference in peoples lives. The other half are lazy failures, unable to make it in the real world they have retreated to teaching as unhappy, frustrated losers. Its all a game, an ego trip, humilation is a drug to these people. They hate confrontation and to be proven wrong.

I would keep you scheduled meeting with your teacher, but leave Mom at home. Tell him that unless he grades you fairly from this point on you will advise the faculty that he offered you a good grade in exchange for certain 'favors'.
Lessons to be learned:
1. Always get very clear definitions of what the assignment is and the rules, preferably in writing. CYA at all times as people are pricks.
2. Never let the bastards see you sweat. Weakness is blood in the water, just focus on getting even.
3. Large shrimp are MUCH more efective than fish juice. Shrimp can be hidden in all sorts of places, such as, inside the leg of a teachers desk, air conditioning vents, lockers, etc... very effective and difficult to pinpoint. Great stench to mass ratio.
Originally posted by angie88You have my sympathy, angie88; I had some similarly unreasonable teachers when I was at school. Thankfully, teachers' opinions of students are pretty irrelevant when it comes to GSCEs and A-Levels. If it's a grade that counts, hopefully you can get that 4 changed, and if you can't then I hope your Geography grade isn't too important in the grand scheme of things 😉

For all the people telling Angie to get even: we don't want her to go too mental. Remember Erfurt 😲

What were you talking about? And can you give a very brief, couple of paragraphs on here and we will mark it.🙂
Do it as you did in class.
The interupting part was well out of order as was telling you to do it without your book. Were you aware you would be effectively be making a presentation without any visual or written aids?
I once went for a job where the assembled management did that to me. We had over 100 applicants for 3 internal tech support positions. They tested us (5 tests over a whole day) and only 6 got though. We had to make a presentation to 10 managers. Not one of the 6 got the job and they gave it to someone that failed the original tests. He gave the boss a lift to work every morning so he could go down the pub at lunchtime!!! He also played golf with him.
Basically, what I'm saying is that this will happen to you many times during your working life and you just have to learn to smile and think nasty things about them. Either that or join the masons!

Finally, it's only Geography. (Light blue touch paper and move slowly back).
Originally posted by Grandmaster baterlol kinda hard to do it in English, as I take geography in German. I was talking about Cyclones. I was aware of the "no written notes"-part, but not that I'd have to do it without any visual aids.

But you're right, it's only geography.... who needs it anyway 😉 In fact, except for ethics, I dislike all of my social classes... politics, economy, history, geography.... pffft so irrelevant (although it's all a matter of personal interest).
