Teachers.

It's official. I'm a blogger. I never understood what the point of a blog was, but I recently read some good ones and they got me inspired. Blogger. bLoGgEr. Blog is a really cool word. ANYWAY, my blog is basically about school. Not the educational part, but the real part. The social stuff. My first topic: Teachers.

Teachers try to trick us. They make us believe that "they like all of their students" or "if I could spend all day with you guys I would" or my personal favorite "there will be consequences". These statements are lies. LIES I TELL YOU! I haven't once come across a teacher who likes all of their students. I mean come on!!! It's completely obvious!!! If a teacher has a spaz about one person not doing their homework, but two seconds later finds out that their favorite student didn't do their homework, they don't have a even bigger spaz, then that's clearly a case of favoritism. Favoritism is a common disease that causes teachers to hold a special place in their heart for one person in particular. They will be especially kind to that person, be easier on that person or, instead of pointing out flaws, they will accentuate the best qualities in that person. They will also make a big deal when that person does something good, and disregard when that person screws up. Not only does favoritism make the victim feel awkward, it drives everyone else crazy.

Favoritism is bad enough, but what about the opposite of favoritism? Thats called

I-Hate-That-Kid. It's pretty much the exact opposite of favoritism. The teacher will be unfair to that person, be tough on that person and point out flaws instead of highlighting good qualities. They will also make a big deal when that person screws up and disregard when that person does something good. I-Hate-That-Kid makes the victim feel miserable, but on the bright side, it gives everyone else something to tease the person about (not that anyone I know would do that...) The sad thing is, that I-Hate-That-Kid is 1 000 000 000 000 000 000 more common then Favoritism.

What about "if I could spend all day with you guys I would"? this is LAUGHABLE!!! I mean, you know how much time our teacher spends in the staff room. And he doesn't hesitate to send us to exploratory or Mlle. Lebel's class early. He is obviously trying to get rid of us!!! And teachers are always too happy on fridays. What are they thinking on fridays? They're thinking "yes!!!!! only a little while until i can go home for a few days!!!!" And then they deny it when you ask them. Will they ever learn how to make it at least a little bit less prominent???

Or "there will be consequences" yeah right!!! In the beginning of the year they said that ipods and cell phones are supposed to stay in our lockers, but at lunch they always see us listening to music or texting and they don't care!!! Except for the time that our supervisor walked into the class and Catherine was lying on the floor pawing at the bag of popcorn that Jonas was holding as Jacob was jumping off of the tables and they had to be sent to the office and we were lectured about "proper classroom behavior", we've never had to undergo "consequences".

Anyway, green tea in hand, I leave you, yearning for the next post. lol.
