Here we are almost into finals and my math teacher comes up missing.

I will not mention the teacher or MATH class…FOR his privacy is very important!

I should have known from the begining that the class was going NOWHERE FAST…when HE would let student upon student pile into the class, on the first day there was no room to sit.

I should have known that when HE called me and other female students BABY…SUGAR…HONEY…there would be trouble!

I should have thought of leaving weeks into the class when he finally gave home work assignments…and he thought it would be better for us to divide up the homework to save time so some students(slackers) could take it easy while the rest of us worked our seats off.

And finally. I should have realized that when we had our first test and half the room gave answers to each other while he stepped out of the room that there was the perfect excuse to with draw..(not to mention being told to “F” off by another student…only to be hugged by the TEACHER!)

Well he did other things in class as well: Drank Coffee with MORE than sugar and cream in it…(OH YES I DID REPORT THESE THINGS…and it took weeks for something to be done).

Our teacher is gone…he left me with 18 points and two weeks to make 500 passing points!!!!!!

I am not great in math but I know I could not make up that many points on what he taught us! We were at least two chapters behind the other classes that taught the same level of MATH.

My advise is: Every department has a Dean, IF you are having trouble with your teacher Do not wait for those chessey evaluations to come around, find out who the Dean is and run don’t walk to him/her and make a report…I did.,but it took more than lil’ ol’ me to make one report.

WE have the power, We need to stand together to help each other…because sometimes little people in a big place cannot be heard alone.

SPEAK UP!

Talk about the teachers you don’t like to each other…as well as in the evaluations.Be honest it only hurts someone else to let a bad teacher continue on staff.
