So I go to a private Catholic high school and this year I got fucked over with literally, the hardest teacher in every single class except Spanish, but my Spanish teacher is a bitch so she pisses me off too. My religion teacher is notorious for failing people just to be a dick and is extremely hard. Case and point today we had a quiz on the entire gospel of Mark. The first question is "Describe the first scene in the gospel of Mark". Honestly, what the fuck. Another one of my favorites was "Jesus spoke in Aramaic 3 times. Name one of them." I'm so fed up with his bullshit that I put "How the hell are we supposed to remember Aramaic? I speak English." Anyway so I did shitty on the quiz and then I go to English, another teacher notorious for being 20 times harder than any other English teacher in the school. So in English, we had another bullshit quiz that I had no idea about any of it. So basically I walked out on his class and went home sick. I returned to school an hour later to finish my day of school so I could take my calc and physics quizes and not miss any notes in history. While i was gone my mom said she'd call my counselor at school and see if I could switch to a different religion class. I come home and she says she talked to the counselor and that 4 or 5 teachers have reported that they're worried about me and she was glad my mom called. So now my mom set me up to go see some outside counselor about my "issues". This is going to be extremely awkward with my parents and I'm not sure what to expect. Anybody have any experiences with counselors? I'm also afraid that the counselor will start feeding me anti-marijuana bullshit and I won't be able to stand it if he/she does. Man, fuck this. Other examples on how my religion teacher is a huge asshole, he literally told us that being accepting of other religions is wrong and that being open minded isn't good. I don't know what the fuck his deal is or why he's such a huge tool, but I'm sure it has to do with the fact that he went to high school at my high school, a very "elitist" high school that thinks they're the best fucking thing since Jesus himself. He then went on to attend Notre Dame, and after realizing he didn't want to be an accountant his whole life, went back to school and got a degree in Theology. He's never received any degree in teaching, and his degree in Theology + him attending my school when he was in high school, got him the job. Yes, I fucking hate him.
Welcome to private schooling. I did it too. Its all how you respond to things, my friend. If you respond very anitauthoritarian/defiiantly, you usually dont make it very far. What happens is you just fuck everything away and that earns you no respect nor any GPA. Now, if you're anything like me, youll be damned if youre going to sit there and take this BS. So do what I did. Play the game. Be smart and be a smartass to your teachers that suck. It gets you a hell of alot further in everything. Learn how to bullshit and be up to date on things. Those two things alone will get you through 80% of school.
Dude, about school.. Suck it up and study. There isn't anything you can do about it. unless... Are you accepted to a college? Do you need the Religion course for your diploma? If not, fuck it.
Yeah my school requires that you pass religion. Also my religion is successfully fucking up my GPA. And my avatar is of Hunter S. Thompson.
Well luckily for me its like February and I got 4 months left of school and at my school just a shitty public one lol, I literally sleep all day be nice to the teachers at the end and they give me good grades lol. Then I go home and study the books because even if I pay attention they don't teach shit and no shit and are a bunch of kinky closet stoner's. Really I know some kids from private schools and I use to go one when I was in elementary school and it sucked man. Its so fucked up and they put so much non chanting bullshit towards you. They just want you to be disciplined thats all and of course stoner's hate discipline. Just finish it get your degree and go to college don't drop out. No matter what you'll be making some nice money and your grades as long as they are decent your going to a private school so, you can surely go to a decent college. Just think of it this way, real life work is 1,000 times worse than school also the fact your gonna have to do it for the rest of your life for your very own survival.
Are you kidding me? You think thats hard for religion? Wow, thats extrememly easy. Every fucking gospel tells the same damn story, and if you were paying attention in class you'd know when Jesus spoke in aramaic. My scripture final had 10 quotes and we had to find them in the bible and put the chapter/verse/line or whatever and say what it meant. Quit acting like you have it so hard.
Yeah life sucks and tehn ya die or whatever. There are much worse things than having to go to couseling. I think you need to grow up just a tad.
Yeah I didn't want to say anything but since its been said, that is fairly easy for religion. Like, I learned that in 6th grade. Hahaha... sorry, don't want to make you feel bad or anything, but I think you should do what you gotta do, you know? And yeah teachers all suck man, but whatever. BTW, I believe most colleges (public ones anyways) take theology courses out of your GPA when they consider you.
Haha But getting back to the topic at hand, everyone takes classes they don't like. I probably would have thought the same thing about useless classes and being rebellious when I was in high school, but all that's going to get you is an appointment with the school counselor and a lousy grade. That's not good for anyone. You don't have to agree with what you're being taught - remain objective about it, but do what you have to do to get a good grade.
