I just came back from a Spanish conversation I had in Hagerty with a “teacher.” One of his students joined the conversation, not to practice Spanish but to suck up to the teacher. One of the teachers roommates also joined! It was one of the worst things I had to sit through in a while. He was the jocky teacher who wants everyone to like him because he thinks he’s cool, but isn’t afraid to make fun of you to make others laugh.
I hated every minute of it. He was supposed to have a conversation with me over the Chapters I’m learning so I can practice what I’ve been learning, right? Well all he and his friends talked about was sports, sports, and more sports. They also talked bad about people. When the teacher finally asked me a few questions so I could join in the conversation, his friend would interrupt and make fun of me because I’m not as fluent in Spanish as they are. They all didn’t care to make fun of me if I stumbled on a few words. I probably talked a good 7 minutes out of the whole 45. I’m so glad that’s over with and I don’t have to go back. I’m just really fed up with teachers! If you want that profession then DO your job! It doesn’t help to make fun of students or to talk about sports and going out to clubs and being stuck up.
I have to fill out this sheet to get extra credit for this Spanish conversation. All I have to do is write an 8-10 sentence summary in Spanish about what we talked about. This should be fun.
Hmmm. How about writing about what they talked about!!! He wouldn't remember, maybe you could throw a few jabs in while you are at it. I think we probably pay way too much money to be made fun of by the teacher, especially in front of other people!
ReplyDeletehaha thats whack i would get help from a different teacher from now on.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like it sucked. It's pretty cool that your really good at spanish though. I love learning spanish. i may decide to minor in it. I would probably need your help though. lol
ReplyDeleteOh jeez thats not cool. My chemistry professor is kind of a jerk too. He like used different greek symbols for the same thing once and a kid asked why and he said for maximal confusion. He makes the class hard because he can. Teachers need to be more helpful sometimes!
