    Never did for two reasons

    I did no such thing, son

    But trust me, it is far more awkward than that

    You know what I hate?
    Teachers who say, when you're trying to tell them "Whoops I fucked up," "It's not my problem!"

    Bitch, did I say it was your problem? Let me check, no I didn't.

    I'm not saying they need to care.
    I'm saying, don't act like I'm trying to blame you. I'm not. In fact, I'm doing the opposite, in admitting that I fucked up.

    Another one of my teachers who was incredibly bad was the gigantically endowed mildly attractive 25 year old who accentuated her cleavage each day

    It got old quickly

    Two years after she left the school she came to our graduation and leaned into my friend's ear and said

    i'm so lonely

    my old highschool was actually getting smarter, apparently

    all the classes that i was in that were advanced level classes that needed special recommendations for are now the general access classes

    At my school, some freshmen got into pre-calc.

    Last I head, that class was still hard as fuck

    Oh god dumbing down classes.
    Fuck that shit so hard. I hate it. Nobody's getting left behind, because we're dragging them along.
    EDIT: It may be a side effect of taking it a year early, but yes, pre-calc is hard as all fuck.

    I hate my math teacher because instead of teaching us, she doe all the problems for us on the board, then come test time I can't do shit because the only way I can do math is with her holding my hand through the whole thing.

    Also oohhh man I had a very bad day at school today.

    All fighting the man and whatnot.

    I was helping a fellow student in the calc 1 (I'm in calc 2) the other day

    I was trying to explain the concept of u-substitution, and she said to me, 'so u is a variable, or a constant?'

    actually you can get through most calc classes without algebra, my old roommate made it through calc, calc 2, calc 3, and differential equations...all with having practically no algebra skills

    i did it the other way, i managed to get by in those classes by faking everything through clever use of algebra

    I mean, it acts as a constant

    but it's a substitution for a variable

    Guys sometimes I start to fret about whether or not I can be a good teacher. Like, sometimes it gets oppressive and I get all haugalaug because History is my life and if I can't teach History I don't know what I am going to do with my life.

    I really don't have any kind of, you know, plan B on this subject.
