ok. I'm ready to rant now. she's never taught math before! she doesn't teach us. she draws on the board and mutters. I'm probably going to fail the test we took today because I couldn't use my calculator because it was a graphing one. she was afraid i'd use it to cheat on the graphing part. and the numbers we had to work with weren't whole! but she let students use there cell phones with which they could text people for answers or something like that. urgh! she grades EVERYTHING out of 100 points. so I missed one problem because of a stupid mistake and got 85 % on our last test! and it's totally stupid that every problem is worth the same amount of points. next semester I'm gonna ask the conculors if I could have Mr L for a teacher. He has GOT to be better. oh wow. Thats Ms. T for you. My last calculus teacher was EXACTLY like that. And, heehee, I failed. So now Im REPEATING calculus. Thank god I didnt have to repeat tenth grade! But you know what? I understand it really well now. ITs still hard, but at least It makes sense. And Pants, I know how you feel, but sometimes switching teachers just makes things a lot worse. Because its not like hes going to be starting over from the beginning. And you know how math builds on itself? Youll be totally lost. But A good thing to do (I dont know if your school does this or not though) is to stay with the teacher you have, then get tutoring from the other one. Then maybe come next semester, you WILL be ready to take his class. edit by ami: people could prolly find you'rs school by your teacher's name edit by orli: no they couldnt, thats not her real name, and it takes more than one teacher to trace a school.

I'd be lost? I am lost! this year it's not building. it's random. I feel crazy. maybe she's just random, I don't know. I wish I had mr n! he explains things so well!

talk to the other people in the class. are they having an issue with her too? if so, maybe you could all go talk to the principal or to the school counsler or something.

wow, she really DOES sound like Ms Timmins. (and its okay for me to say her name, everyone, thats not really it, its off by two letters.) Like she doesnt know how to teach, doesnt teach in order, no one understands? Is she really unorganized too? Is she old?

middle aged. she seems slightly unorganized. and she'll check her problems wrong and then spend ages trying to get the "right" answer when she had it to begin with!

(flea bombs, car problems, sleep over) It was crazilly insaneful and I finally found it by going to glitterdragon and getting the link off of that. My computer is a nasty twit.
