Damn.
My new teacher sux and i mean it to the very core.
She deflates everyone's confidence, tries to conform everyone into sprouting her exact sentences, leaving not a single inch for imagination. So, i am supposed to learn by repeating what she says?
Woah that is surely constructive.
She is so super fake.
We were on this new vocabulary word about being generous and someone asked if she was that kind of person.
Her reply astounded me.
'Oh, depends on who im dealing with.'Erm, i have no objection with this kind of reply whatsoever since personality differs between individuals but as a teacher, i hardly think that is the most suitable response that she could come up with.
And it totally pissed me off when i saw her using her PEN to write (in handwriting that is far from being legible) in my classmates' books. Harlow~ shouldnt you at least have the basic courtesy to ask first if its alright?! What the.. I swear i will flare up if she does that in my book. For christ's sake, its PEN. Its non-erasable. Get it?
Super duper fake.
Keeps harping that half of the class did really badly and that there is no hope of advancing to the next level. As a teacher myself, i always thought that deflating a student's confidence is a surefire way to destroy the student totally. And i dun mean praising upfront and then to find fault with every single sentence, including interrupting the student who is trying her best to construct a sentence. Teachers should not be teachers if they are not equipped with an extremely high level of patience. Not to mention that this is a language course, where students need even more time to think. She just steps in to stop the student AND then goes on to give her interpretation of the sentence with her logically correct grammar structures, while disregarding the original meaning that the student wanted to put across.
She fails to understand what we want to express and just forces her way of thinking on us.
I was also pissed when she said that
'oh please dun try to form long sentences since we will get it wrong anyway. So just stick to what i said in class.' It has never ever struck me that language study is a DEAD subject. I think according to her wishes, we might just as well be clones. Everyone knows that the best way to learn is from mistakes and here i have someone (who even mentioned rather haughtily that she is even more experienced than my previous teacher) who bans us from committing mistakes. Is that what we coin as perfectionist?
My foot, your head.
Any desire to construct sentences as homework vanished completely the moment she said that. I decided i will not hand in my homework for the rest of this semester. Since given her character, she will just return it to me and diss all the sentences in front of the whole class. This is what she does best anyway.
Makes us form sentences without even thoroughly explaining the new grammar structures (does 5 mins for each structure count?) and then of course, disses everyone's efforts. Oh, and tops the insult with a praise. How wonderful~ She just manages to waste all the time without elaborating on the critical stuff..
I forgot to mention i think she is narcisstic. I wasnt around yesterday and my friend said that she was telling the class she thinks she is pretty. -___- Today, she said she is experienced and that she is funny. AH HA HA HA.
The understatement of the year.
I look at her face, i cant even smile, not to mention laugh.
To add further insult to injury, i was waiting for angel n rachel at the stairs when she passed by me and asked me,
'Did i have you for interview during placement test?'
I was trying to recall when she quipped,
'You don't remember? Oh i also dun remember.'Mad. If you know you cant remember, why bother to ask in the first place?!
My final conclusion: She has a serious attitude problem. On top of that, she has no capability at all to provide a conducive learning environment. If that is what she calls being experienced, i have no confidence in the system of this school.
Oh how could i have forgotten this.
She is extremely fussy about details and just about
niams about everything.
Another thing was that she asked everyone about which level they started off with. And she gave that LOOK again when she emphasized that everyone should start off with level 1 or else we would not know this and that. I am not trying to be arrogant but i think the people who scored well for the midterm are not those who started off with level 1. What kind of stupid logic is that?
I am so gonna score super well for my final tests and throw the papers in her face. Of cos, i will be skipping more classes for the rest of the semester. Just so as to prove to her that without her, i can do much better. I have a feeling that she thinks im too arrogant and is trying to deflate my ego.
I see no reasons why i should depend on her when i had depended on myself almost all along.
She just dampened my mood for the whole day.
What a wonderful teacher.
