Rant #2: C'mon now.

Seriously? You have no tolerance whatsoever of music. Even when I was having an anxiety attack you told me that I had to take my ear buds out. Just by the way, there are very few things that can calm my anxiety: music, reading, and talking to my boyfriend. I figured you'd rather me at least try to pay attention to you so I didn't read. My boyfriend is busy trying to get his stuff from his mom’s house because she kicked him out and can’t talk on the phone so I couldn't talk to him. Would you rather me curl up in a ball on the floor, hyperventilating, and otherwise unresponsive? No, you wouldn’t unless you are really messed up but that's how bad I could get if I don't have something to help me calm myself.

Yes this particular class of kids can be obnoxious. I don't like listening to stupid teens talk about sex, drugs, and parties either. And in case you didn't notice, I am a teen. Not all teens are fucking party kids. A lot of us actually hate hearing about that shit. And I’m sure that is important to them right now. It’s not important to me but you don’t see me yelling at them to shut up one day and then splitting them up the next day without giving them a single chance to redeem themselves. Which leads me into my next point.

Treat me like your equal. I am not a fucking 5 year old. Hell I know a few 5 year olds that wouldn’t appreciate that kind of treatment. Hey guess what? I’ve been working with kids younger than me since I was five years old, maybe before. One of the most helpful secrets of kids? If you treat them the way you want to be treated they will respect you. Did you know that respecting others is one of the best ways to gain respect? I’ve tried to respect you but if you don’t treat me with respect you won’t get it in return.

You very obviously have a biased view on the world. A highly strict view. And if “your” classroom doesn’t conform to your view you immediately shut that view down. Did you know there’s a whole study on whether a strict work environment works better than a more relaxed work environment? If I remember correctly, it was something like 83% more relaxed environments were more successful, more productive, than the strict environment.

On another note, this isn’t even your classroom. You are a substitute. I did not sign up for your class I signed up for my teacher’s class. If I wanted to be in your class I would have signed up for your class. Oh wait you don’t have one. You’re a substitute. Meaning you do not work at my school. You work for my school’s district but that is not the same thing. Yes, you are stepping in for my teacher because she is unable to teach us at the moment. She’s sick, not dead so stop freaking undermining how she teaches. At least she teaches us the correct terms and facts. You teach us shit like “ring worms are heart worms.” ring worm is a fungal infection stupid. I know more than you do on the subject and I don’t know much. I readily admit that fact. I want to learn but I want to learn the truth. Not random crap that you read on the internet. If you went into my internet history you’d find liable sources (educational, factual sources), not Wikipedia. Get the facts right or get the fuck out. That kind of shit would get you fired in any other job. If you’re a teacher, that fact doesn’t change. In fact, in my opinion, I think it’s more prominent if you’re a teacher.

 "I seriously detest you having music in your ears." "I seriously detest my students having cell phones out. Put it away now... I dont care if you aren't texting, put it away." "I seriously detest all this talking." I'm sorry is there anything that you do like? I mean, c'mon. All you've done since you've started subbing for this class is complain, talk about how our teacher does things the opposite way you want to, bitch about how we act (even if you havent started class yet), and give us incorrect information. Seriously? You need to get out or shut up. Again, you are not my teacher. Therefore, I am not your student. So I will have my cell phone out as much as I fucknig want. I'm not constantly on it unless i have to be. Also, do you have to say "i seriously detest" everytime? Can you not say "I dislike" or "I'm not a fan"? Because we already know you aren't as smart as you seem to think you are. So there is zero reason for you to try to sound like it.

Also, Let me just put this down so you know just how horrible of a teacher you are. My friend whom, before this class, loved science with a passion now hates it with a passion because of your attitude towards us and towards how you approach everything. My other friend, who wants to become a marine veteranarian, knows more than you do on any of the units we've talked about so far will try to politely correct you and since you so obviously hate this class period, you completely disrespect her and tell her she's wrong when you only glanced at what you're teaching us last night (and, again, you make it obvious) and she's already taking college courses on veteranarian sciences.... Shut. The fuck. Up. You stupid ass bitch.

Considering that this class period is now over, I will leave this rant off for now. I don’t want to think about your shit outside of the times I have to.
