My American Lit./Writing teacher is SUCH a fucking asshole!

 

We had an assignment where we had to explicate a poem and use different color pens and symbols to outline different poetic elements and such, and my poem didn't have any sort of rhyme scheme or sound devices, so I noted that at the bottom of the poem.

 

Well, I got my paper back, and there's tons of marks saying "-2 rhyme scheme, -2 slant rhymes, -2 visual rhymes, -2 alliteration" etc etc and I got a ZERO on the assignment.

 

Then I went to ask him why I missed everything, and he told me it's because I didn't say that there were no rhyme schemes and such, and when I pointed out the note I had at the bottom he said "It wasn't in GREEN, I was looking for writing in green. How would I have seen the note at the bottom?" in the most assholey manner ever. My zero still stands.

 

ASSHOLE.

Oh wow...... I probably would have said something like "So you are saying that you are going to give me a zero because you as a teacher and from what I am understanding is that you didn't really go through my paper because I didn't had a green pen at the time?" and see what he had said..

That is absolutely ridiculous, Alyssa. I would be just as upset as you are if I was in that situation.

What the hell?

This is crazy!!

surely it can't be any way legal?

SUE!!!!!!!! his ass off :P

chi-ching, and then buy the school and paint it green.

maybe he'll see THAT!!

so just study hard, ace the class, come back later in life when you're successful and show him your other kind of green :greedy:

Wow. What a nasty piece of work. You shouldn't accept stuff like that.

That's so unfair. I hope you get to talk to him but do it in like really calm and cool way.

 

" Obviously you didn't read everything that I wrote down. I put a lot of hard work into this assignment and was clearly indicating with this sentence here* point to it* that I did not not use rhyme schemes. I feel as though this would have limited my creativity so I made sure to indicate that. I do not feel as though I should have a failing grade when the one who is at fault is clearly you."

 

 

 

I had a bitchy teacher once tell me that I wouldn't pass any college level math course because I missed a homework assignment two days in a row. HA. Well I did. took a math/calculus/statistic course every year I was at MSU. Who's laughing now?
