I do understand this. I know that it's in students' interests.It's just a phase. You get upset because the stress is getting to you. In hindsight, you will realise that your teachers mean well and you're just dramatising the situation. Just ignore it and move on. Trust me, I've been through this.
While I do acknowledge that there is some truth to "english teachers thinking their subject is paramount", I think at the same time, it gives you a wake up call to the importance of time management. It did for me. For my school, a lot of students neglected the study of english and shifted their study time to the other humanities and more importantly, to their mathematics and science subjects. In hindsight, when my teacher nagged me for not doing a certain task, I wanted to spit on their face - but really, they meant well.
That's true. At my school, when we reached senior years, they treated us like adults. They nagged us every now and then and gave us, "the talk".I do understand this. I know that it's in students' interests.
I just think that 17-18 year-olds should be treated like 17-18 year-olds.
Yeah me too. Decided to stay home for a week, lost motivation for studying after 3rd dayI honestly think I don't need to go to class for half my subjects. I think I could teaching myself so much better than they're teaching me now.
hahah ^ this definitely.Im not sure some teachers realise everyone has 10 or more units and therefore can't focus on their subject. Especially during assessment period grrr
By the end of the hsc your opinion will most likely change, trust methe one thing that bugs me about the HSC so far is the amount of pressure teachers put on people. if you're late for homework or don't do this or that they tear you up. it stresses me out.
sure it's their job to make sure we succeed, and it makes their job easier if we cooperate, but in the end it's my business, my problem.
I say they should treat us uni fashion. leave it up to us.
I call for change, people.
