| Lost Teacher |
|
Before i tell this story i should tell you about our first teacher. To put it bluntly she was a drunk. She would hardly ever teach us and she was completely unfit to teach. Just because she has tenure and the teacher union is super powerful doesn't mean we should keep a drunk teaching. Seriously all we did during the whole first semester and first half of the second was watch movies that had nothing to do with anything we were learning. She would give us "participation" grades which were really just if she liked us that day or not. I think that during the whole year we read one book and we didn't even finish it. We just had an inian food party because the auther was from India. I'm not the best at English but i think that it was more the teacher than me. ONe day the only thing she would say to us was "Shut the hell up". Sometimes we would have a sub because she wasn't there and then she would just pop up through the door and be like "I'm just checkin in for a second". One time when we were watching moveis through the decades or something we got ot the 80s film and before we started it she was like "I don't really remember the 80s much" which is almost physically impossible unless she was passed out drunk the whole time or shooting up in an alleyway. She must have been what in her 30s when she went through the 80s so how could you forget a whole ten years unlesss you weren't mentally there the whole time.
Then our acting troupe had a weekend field trip to a competetition. Our teacher(Mrs. N) had once said she was an actress in her 20s(which how does one remember that but not a whole decade like the 80s) anyway she went. I don't know if she was a chaperone or if she just went as a spectator but the trip was a school function. Well she didn't come back the following Monday. A friend of mine who had been on the trip said that her water bottle had smelt heavily of vodka and that she was practically foaming at the mouth when they took her to the hospital. Apparantly she had taken some medication that morning and it didn't mix very well with her vodka. The subs we had all told us she was on a "leave". Smells like rehab to me.
Moving on, after we were thrown substitute after substitute for 2 or 3 weeks they gave us a new teacher. Mrs. S. I like her. I personally think that she is the best English teacher i have had over the years. But just like the boys were rude to Mrs N they were only slightly nicer to Mrs. S. Because of course she was being evil and actually asking us to do work and oh my gosh read a book. But everything is good with us now.
So this Monday we all were in class more or less on time. Mrs. S didn't show up. We waited ten then tweny minutes and no sign of her. Her class is my first class so its not like there was any point in leaving so we jsut sat and all talked. Towards teh end of the class the boys decided to pul a little prank on Mrs. S for when she came back. They took her desk and moved it to the other side of the room. Then they stacked as many desks as they could into a pyramid. They would've gotten away with it if a teacher across the hall hadn't seen us all leaving at the anouncment bell instead of the dismissal one. Me and another girl turned and saw the other teacher stopping people and we just bolted around the corner. We didn't want to go back and have to clean up a mess we didn't do. All in all it was funny and it would've been much funnier if we hadn't been caught but i guess thats the price they pay.
