Teachers, like nurses, are special people. They put up with so much and I give them a lot of credit....sickness, attitudes, snotty-nosed kids and teenagers. You have to wonder who would ever go through that much post-secondary education just to teach?
But there are some bad teachers. And I'm afraid that Emma has one. She had him for the first semester too, but for a different subject. She would complain about how he would yell at her in front of the class if she was late (due to the bus). She said he wouldn't let some kids in at all if they didn't get there right on time! I did call him to talk to him about the fact that Emma was skipping his class because he was single-ing her out all the time and he stopped, but he was still a jerk to her....wouldn't pick her to express her opinions during discussions, was sarcastic....not a great learning environment. So, when she chose another subject for this semester that he was teaching we were very disappointed. Unfortunately, she really wanted to take the subject (World Religion) and he's the teacher. So she took it. And man, is she having issues. This guy is a joke! On the first day of class, he told them- "If you are not religious, you have NO MORALS OR VALUES." Wtf???? You can't say that as though it's fact, because it's not! And so it has gone downhill since the first day of this semester. Now, Emma is in the process of dropping the course. This guy also supply-taught in one of Brandon's classes last semester and grabbed Brandon by the arm. I'm not saying Brandon didn't deserve it, but there are pretty strict laws about that kind of behaviour in the school system.
Anyhow, we have been quite lucky with teachers over the years. Seems that we've only had a couple of bad eggs, but this guy is stinking up the whole fridge, ya know?
