My Grade 10 AP teacher is purposely setting my class up for doom this year. Any advice?
My section has this new teacher who I’ll just call Sir M. When we first met this guy, I could tell he was giving off a different sort of energy. One, because he seemed gay (NO shame to the lgbtq community btw, i support em as long as they’re decent ppl) so i THOUGHT it would be a good sign since all the lgbt teachers I’ve had in the past were all very nice to be with, especially our adviser from Grade 9. But I was quickly proven wrong.
He only SEEMED nice, but the words coming out of his mouth got on my nerves. CONSTANTLY lecturing us abt sitting up properly even though we were already in a good sitting position, poking at us if we didnt answer him IMMEDIATELY. VERY passive aggressive and overall, he had a mean bitch energy. And my section is known to be pretty shy at times, so his bitchiness wasnt encouraging or helping anyone at all. Just when we thought that was all he’d do to us and that we’d have to bear w it, Friday was the turning point.
Friday is club day and in my case, it was our first club meeting this school year. Everyone’s all excited abt joining their new club and experiencing smth new, or some stayed in their original club and cant wait to experience the fun there all over again. You get the idea, its IMPORTANT for all of us. We want to at least make a decent impression on our moderators and clubmates on the first day, right? Sir M ruined it for us all.
We were presenting in AP class and it was going decent. AP was the last subject before clubtime and teachers are SUPPOSED to dismiss students at 2:50 pm so we can find/get to our clubs before 3 pm (when clubs usually start). It’s in the STUDENT AND TEACHER schedule. But he didnt give a shit and even though it was 3 minutes until 2:50, he still pushed for the other 3 groups to present. THAT was irritating but SURELY he wouldnt extend TOO much, maybe just 2:55 or smth? Wrong. He PURPOSELY extended until 3:05 FUCKING PM. He had that bitchy smirk like he knew what he was doing too. It was WAY out of line and he even threatened to take up the WHOLE club time. In the end, we were ALL late to our clubs and the ONLY ones who were.
Before you guys say “its just club, it doesnt affect your grades, its just a minor activity for fun“, its not the case for us. Being late or not attending a club often will affect your conduct AND your grades, especially for those w important clubs (sports or instrument clubs). It could even result to our club moderators reporting this to our parents, and those with strict parents will DEFINITELY suffer. If he keeps doing this every Friday, our section will suffer and REALLY have a hard time. I do NOT think we deserve this treatment, we as a class have never been disrespectful or mean during his class. So any advice on how to approach this situation? It would be a great help thx.
