So I had a bit of an issue in my
last class. I do not tolerate rudeness, hence why I am overflowing with anger
as I type. Let’s start from the beginning; I want you to fully understand why I’m
so mad.
My etymology teacher wanted
everyone in the class to have a blog to post about the books that they are
reading. Simple assignment, too bad the teacher had no idea how to set up the
blog accounts or even use the blog site. Wonderful. I obviously blog on this
site so, I knew how to use it. I already
had an account so all I had to do was add another blog to my account and then
just sit there. The girl next to me was having issues so I helped her and them
my teacher volunteered me to help everyone in the class set up theirs. No nap
for me apparently.
Yesterday my teacher decided she
wanted to make another blog where all of the students could go and post things
together. Also, she wanted everyone’s information listed to the side. She didn’t
have time or know-how to do this for herself so she put me on the spot. She asked
if I would create this for her and I felt as though I could not say no. So last
night I spent a little over TWO HOURS trying to create this damn blog. I had to
look up everyone’s name in the class, the name of their blogs, and their URLs. Then,
I had to alphabetize these and create a gadget. Then, I had to add everything
(3 things per student out of 28 students) to this stupid list so it would show
up in the margins. Looking up everyone’s information consisted of me finding 28
different blogs and citing them. Creating the blog under someone else’s name,
the list, and setting up the layout took forever. All of this hard work can with
no benefit. I did not receive extra credit, I did not receive any points, but I
earned a “thanks” for the clueless teacher.
I don’t think they really realized
how much work I put into it…. For nothing. I was trying to help out the teacher
and the student. If I didn’t do this, every student in the class would have
another assignment to do. Instead, I took their assignment and did it for them
for nothing.
When I walked into class today the
teacher had me show the class how to access and use the site. One pretend hick
called me a try-hard (hypocrite), and one too-cool-for-anyone-else-jock called
me a teacher’s pet. This annoyed me but I continued on with my presentation. Annoyed.
This little cheerleader sitting in the front row said snidely “You spelled my
name wrong, but okay”, accompanied by a dramatic eye-roll. I stopped. I stood
over her and replied:
“I don’t care what your name is, or
how you spell it. Since I spent two hours doing this last night with no benefit
to myself, I would love to go back and change it for you. I’ll change it to
bitch, I’ll spell that one right every time.”
Her jaw dropped….. Bitch. I suggest
getting a normal name before bitching about the spelling.
I was so angry. That is so disrespectful;
I almost couldn’t believe she said it. Screw that.
NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED.Over worked and underappreciated.
