I have a hard time not being hostile when they whine and complain about getting too much work. I am not assigning too much work. I am assigning less than I probably should. Yet they complain. And when I spend 30 minutes explaining something and they spend that time talking to their friends and not paying attention and then we do the exercise and they raise their hand and say, “I don’t understand” I want to scream.
SHUT UP AND LISTEN TO ME YOU LITTLE DIRTBAG
Ok. I’m calm. I swear.
that would be…
what we in Corporate America call a “Career Limiting Move” 😛
It doesn’t get much better in the “real world”.
You know, I’ve actually seen some similar shit in my Blueprint class. Probably not to the extent you see it but um yes. He’s a very good teacher and he makes it really doable. But yah, I see him bridle when someone complains. Some people complain just outta habit. I think everyone knows he’s a great teacher.
I saw people talking all through Bridgett’s class. Boy did I wanta bonk em on on the head.
Rude. So even adults pull this shit.
But in my Blueprint class this one couple had gotten outta hand just talkity talk talk, and I know he kept waiting for them to stop and he finally realized they weren’t gonna.
So he said “I have a question for you two.” They: “Yes?” He: “Are you gonna talk through the whole class cause you did that the whole last class too?”
They pretty much shut up after that.
I have complete faith in your ability to handle it. I’m thinking when your getting pissed though its probably even harder to pick your words. Maybe if you had something in mind before hand. Such as “Excuse me, are you gonna continue to talk like that? Because if you are, and you don’t understand this later on I won’t go over it again for you. You can pay attention now or not but I won’t do it twice if you’re gonna talk through the first time. If your listening and then you have questions I will help, otherwise no.”
Okay that was really long winded. But I know I was very glad my Blueprint teacher nipped that in the bud cause it was damn distracting. I was getting pissed too.
I bet your a wonderful teacher.
