Random Win: The irl Fuck Ya thread

[BaneTheBrawler]

me, too. had one teacher who said "If you don't take notes you will fail this class." and then let us fuck around. everyone failed, he lost his job.

[Blubbartron]

/hi5. Did the same thing in school. Part of the reason so many text books is because the school literally charged us rent to use lockers which my parents didn't feel like paying. So also lugged all that to and from school as well. Can't tell you how many teachers I pissed off reading in class... though did have one actually call my house to tell me to just completely ignore the class when I read instead of try and participate while reading.

Lol, this reminds me of when my Spanish 2 teacher yelled at me for choosing to read the LOTR trilogy in her class instead of doing the bullshit busywork assignment she had been handing out. It was at the end of the 4th quarter after I had mathematically guaranteed an A in her course. I looked her in the eye and said "are you really choosing to be angry with me for reading quietly in your class?" and sat down and continued reading. Silly bitch thought her Spanish class was important to someone that was going to be taking college courses the very next year.

Full riding gear - You can see where I fell/laid out at least once on that side of the jacket. People get super worried but really I was just making a slow turn in light rain and fell over...

Worried over a little scratch on the jacket? Psh at least you had something to take the scratches for ya

Those teachers were the worst. Trying to make you do stuff when you've already done.

My trig/pre calc teach literally yelled at me every day I had class with him to do my assignment. I'd tell him I had he'd say work on next one I'd say done. He'd keep doing that until finally I'd tell him I would but I've already finished the chapter (which the class wasn't supposed to finish for another 2 months) and "somebody" wont give me the next one because apparently I'm not smart enough to work ahead. Which is what he told me when in the beginning of the year I asked him to let me work ahead since my counselor had said she'd find a way to get me credit for 2 years of math if I could do get teachers to let me work ahead. So each day he'd yell at me and then get pissed off because he just couldn't admit he was wrong

Got him good though. Ended up getting so bored in class (because he wouldn't let me do anything else) that out of boredom and spite I started making programs that would solve all the stuff we had been doing and show all the work. And since we were all required to have the same graphing calcs was easy to transfer to everyone. Yeah only took like 2 tests of almost everyone getting at least a B before we weren't allowed to use calculators on tests which made him have to rewrite them all so they could be done in time with just pencil and paper. He did stop me from advancing like I wanted and left me incredibly bored 2 hours every other day but I like to think I won

[Melena]

Yeah my freshman English teacher pretty much failed me on every non group assignment after I dozed off watching scarlet letter cause I came to school sick due to three tests on the same day and wasn't going to be able to make them all up due to bullshit rules of having to make it up after school and only on the day you return, so I couldn't spread it out. Was the only year I ever got a D in English. Was always an A student in that subject.

At least my keyboarding class my senior year I made a tidy profit selling the ability to copy my floppy and change all my initials to theirs since I'd finish the days assignments in about ten minutes and would spend the next 30-40 minutes playing x-wing

[tyven]

no, i keep those in my overnight bag.

i put my hat/gloves in the messenger bag when i'm not wearing them, and have a little pencil bag type thing in which i keep my anti-diarrheal medication, my calmoseptine ointment, a couple condoms (lol like i need them), a tiny swiss army knife, and a pack of gum.

i just like being prepared.

I saw glass jaw tonight and I think their lead singer has the poopie disease and I was hoping he would poop himself during the set so that they would have to stop early

Also there were a lot of people in the crowd wearing Herschel backpacks (gay!).I assume loaded with TP for Daryl

Hating on Herschel?

Bruh.

[Psion]

All this talk of reading in class reminded me that i'm probably the only kid whose parents punished him by... grounding him from reading books for a week or more. this was their preferred method when they felt spanking wasnt enough.

[Lyall]

Finally tried those pepperoni chips recommended after the Owl. They're fucking delicious even if they make a huge mess even on paper towels.

The first thing I did after testing them was put a dab of pizza sauce and a handful of shredded mozzarella on top. It isn't pizza but it's pretty great for a snack.

Nope, you're not the only one. My mom once packed and padlocked my books for two weeks because I "backtalked" a teacher. Said teacher was a long-term substitute who was extremely butthurt that I could maintain an A in pre-calculus and do nothing but work on my D&D 3.0 campaign in class.

Random win: Citywide power outage forced Marshall University to cancel classes this morning.

[zoobernut]

I got in trouble for reading in class all the time even through college. I can't even count the number of times a teacher would call me out for it and then end up letting me read in class after the first test or after I was able to answer all their questions.

I remember specifically in one of my art history classes in college the teacher called me out for reading in front of the class then proceeded to ask me all sorts of questions about the painting that she was showing in a slide at that moment. After I answered all her questions correctly she just said "ok then carry on reading" and went back to her lecture.

Books were the one thing that my parents would always buy me if I asked so I ended up just asking for books.

[dasva]

That would be the best part. When they call you out for not paying attention and then you demonstrate that despite reading something completely unrelated you were still probably retaining more than students not looking like they were goofing off. That's actually why I got a call from the teacher. Apparently answering questions the rest of the class had trouble with while reading a book was making the rest of the class feel bad. But that is what happens when you put people in easier classes for just for not getting straight As and then teach at the pace of the slowest student.

Had some that were good though. Like a couple of teachers would work together and break the classes up in groups based on abilities in specific subject to teach more at their pace and even allowed some free work (like they basically gave us the math book and said get to work lol). Plus they did cool things like made us sit in different groups each quarter where we were responsible for helping each other and keeping discipline in the group then reward us based on how well we did that. That was a pretty cool school year

[arus2001]

Some teachers fail to realize that a bored student is also unlikely to really learn. And this isn't to confuse boredom with disinterest (which is fairly likely in its own ways). I was pretty much always drawing while taking notes, pausing the former to scribble the latter when I got the vibe they were trying to express an important point. This annoyed some because they thought I wasn't paying attention despite the multitasking to keep from getting bored. Others didn't care or even came to realize why I did it. Usually it just meant I'd sit at the back of the class to minimize notice one way or the other. In the end, if I had one of those teachers who had the next day's assignment up from the start of the class, there was also a good possibility I was doing it during the class itself to minimize my evening homework. Some classes I admittedly didn't bother to do homework at all because I was okay with the grade hit despite understanding most material. Boring busywork just really doesn't do it for everyone, nevermind the reality of a lot of forced education simply being unimportant in day-to-day life of adulthood.

[Aksannyi]

I have some students who do that too, and it doesn't bother me, unless they're supposed to be working on something else. Those students so rarely actually turn in their work, so I have to get on them about drawing in class. Like it's fine, do it while I'm lecturing if that helps, but if you're supposed to be writing something, you should be writing.

My geometry teacher was like that. Took him a week before he told me he didn't want me to talk/answer any more questions for the rest of the semester. He even brought in newspapers and other stuff for me to read during class. On the other hand, my calc teacher absolutely blew a gasket every time I'd do my econ homework during class.

[Tokitoki]

I remember correcting my teacher's math one time. We had a quiz/test where she asked the angle made by the hands of a clock that read 4:30 or something like that. She was going over the answers in class and explained how if the hands are on the 4 and 6 it makes a 60 degree angle. I had to explain to her how a clock works; at 4:30 the hour hand is between the 4 & 5 while the minute hand is on the 6.

She stared at the clock for a minute then came over and marked my answer correct, but let the people she had marked correct keep their score as well.

That is awesome. More like a riddle and a math question combined into one. People are so quick to make assumptions and it can really make math more difficult. Good to make people think of the details more carefully.

We had a guy that was really good at going thru all the details like that. He wasn't the smartest in class but that actually helped him because he'd think and over think things all the time. People always wondered why I partnered with him on partner tests when his grades were decently worse but it was really a great deal for both of us. I knew all the material and could explain which helped him and he literally made sure no mistake I made ever got overlooked, ever. He was so good he ended up finding errors in textbooks that had been used for years that no one had ever noticed. Guys attention to detail game was out of this world
