What the hell, man?

A few days ago, I was in my Bio class. Our teacher was starting a lesson on the nervous system. We hadn't done anything about this prior to the class. This was completely new material.
During the lesson, she asked us a question about how a nerve cell works or something like that. Of course, nobody knew the answer because this was our first day learning about this subject. For some reason, she got pissed at us at this point, and she said that we "rely on [her] too much to teach [us] the material."
Well, yeah, we rely on you to teach us the fucking material -- you're the fucking teacher, for G-d's sakes! What is wrong with you? How is it our fault that you haven't taught us any of this?
Can anyone explain to me how a teacher can blame her students for not learning something she hasn't taught? This is seriously pissing me off!

Also she expected us to take a test on material we learned in 6th grade (3 years ago!) she didnt even want to go over it.

Did i mention we never learned the material in 6th grade?!

Had she assigned the chapter of the book covering the nervous system to have been read already?

And just to add on to this list of complaints about her, we had these review packets that we were told to do because she was going to grade them (why she thinks she can force people to review and then not even go over the stuff in class is beyond me, by the way). Some kids didn't do them and just handed them in filled in with random numbers.
So she graded them. The kids who filled things in at random, of course, got really low grades. One kid got a seven. That's right, a seven. Wanna know how I know this? Because she told both of her classes this! She didn't tell the class who it was, but she definitely humiliated this kid in front of his peers, however anonymous it was. Is it fair to tell two classes full of kids that someone -- not saying who, but still -- got a one-digit grade on anything? No, it isn't. A normal, benevolent person would withhold the grade. It's bad enough to be the kid who gets a seven, let alone know that dozens of people could suspect you of getting it. How can anyone be so vindictive to a kid who probably just forgot to do one homework assignment?

[teacher]No one got under an 80 on this test! That's better than usual!
[class] thank God.
[teacher] Kaplowitz....(show grade-- 94 btw!)

[teacher] (name)...(shows grade)
[teacher] Jesse...(shows grade)
[Jesse] I thought no one got under an 80?
[teacher] I must have missed that one.

He got a 76. Within hours, the whole school knew, i felt really bad for him.

Three months ago, right before March break, she gave us this little assignment about the Endocrine system. Hormones and that.
Fast forward to this week.
She gave us a quiz on the Endocrine system this week.
That's right, buddy. She hadn't actually really taught any of it herself. She made us do the learning, and even that was pretty perfunctory. Plus, it was done three months ago!
What is happening in your head?

One: It's "The Saxby", not "shax". I don't even know what "shax" is supposed to be.
Tsvay: Yo, mir zenen fraant.
Three: No, we're not in the same class; we just have the same teacher.

Also, there've been rumors accusing mee of being Kaplowitz's multi. I'd like to tell everyone right now that these rumors are false and that I've never been so offended in my life, so if you fink I ain't me own person, just shh... HUT YUH MUH, blud. I wear me own garms, bredrin.

I think we should tell ourselves that, not her.

You guys are freshman? That's high school, get used to odd teachers. And this:

It's bad enough to be the kid who gets a seven, let alone know that dozens of people could suspect you of getting it. How can anyone be so vindictive to a kid who probably just forgot to do one homework assignment?

Mmm, whoever that kid was, maybe is taking his first year too seriously? Most kids I know would be proud to have gotten a 7% on something, they'd wear it like a badge and giggle in guilty pleasure when the teacher announced it. What is humiliating about not doing homework? :roll:

OK, how's this for stupid school?
The heat index here has been over 100 degrees for the last three days. But I have to write a note for my son to take a bottle of water to school with him.
