Do teachers really know that there talking about?!?

[Ian W.]

i hate some teachers. i love some teachers. some teachers i could care less about.

for the most part, i have great teachers this year, and pretty much every year in high school (i'm a junior now) i've had great teachers. apart from english this year, i love them all. what do i do in english then? being the bad student i am, i always come up with the right answer that the teacher doesn't want. i act all cynical and pretty much oppose all of her views. it actually makes the class more enjoyable to me (yeah, i'm weird that way ), and it probably raises my class participation.

i find that if i hate a teacher, i can become extremely cynical and sarcastic. i think it's a self defense mechanism against jumping out a window in fustration or something . whatever the cause, it works for me, and i get through the 40 minutes of english.
