I took a feminist class one time, too. What interested me the most is we were talking about sex and one of the articles we had to read for class was arguing that "sex" is a MALE term because sex between a man and a woman ends when the man ejaculates.
Why?
Well we spent a couple class periods talking about this. It's interesting to think about, in my opinion. Why is sex over only when a guy comes? Why not for a woman?
I almost reached enlightenment thinking about this. |
but then it's all flaccid... it's not like sex could continue even if it wanted to |

I hate the teachers who teach a volatile subjects dealing with things about racism, feminism, etc...without trying to shed ANY light on the other side.
Pretty much all classes come to to agreeing that:
White, American, heterosexual, christian men are the "norm" and people are only remarked on with they deviate
"Oh that person is a _____*"
*instert person of color (any color), bisexual gay transgendered, other world religion here*
I had to sit in a class where there was SOOOOOO much angry angst about the status quo. We looked into all the aspects deeply, and people just became angrier.
I am currently in a feminism class where I am 1 of 2 men in a 40 person class. The first 3 pages we read and it has compared calling a woman a "babe" to GANG RAPE (one being just a lesser form of patriarchal subjugation).
On one level they are correct. But 60 pages later and there is still no catharsis, nothing answering the most important question "SO WHAT"
It talks about the differences between men and women. About how guys are rough and rowdy and treat women gently and how women support their men....
they ignore the fact that men also support their wives. It references New Testament stuff (they didnt specifically reference Ephesians but I know thats what they were talking about) and how Western Religion has put men in charge. They failed to tell about the other HALF of that passage that claimed men are to be servants as Jesus was to man. Caring and taking care of his wife because she is his other half and to harm or subjugate her would to be doing tha to himself.
but they dont mention that part.
I guess what I am saying is that a teacher teaching something that important. Really taking a CRITICAL approach to these subjects HAS to explain the reason the current conditions exist. They talk about white power. My teacher was black for one of my classes and I asked her to please not insult MY ancestors who (regardless of how you think the takeover of North America was the French and all of Europe did it too) died creating this country and to please have a little more respect for their suffering and perseverance. The teacher was totally cool and said "Oh man, I am so sorry if I was coming off like that at all, I didnt mean to" and the whole class lightened up.
A lot of times when you are hitting these subjects so hard because you only have 10 weeks, you tend to not realize that a lot of people are keeping their mouths shut, and just hardening up inside as they feel attacked by some of these.
A teacher needs to teach people to think critically and REASONABLY first and foremost.
Again, referencing this feminism class I am in, I can already see girls gearing up to call their boyfriends a patriarch, or be upset when he tries to "take control" and just hold her hand.
I think to look at only 1 side of things impoverishes not only the learning experience, but their lives. The other half is making them realize that half of that stuff, isnt necessarily a criticism. Its telling them how it works. The author probably wasn't out to try to change gender roles and all of a sudden men are supposed to be giving birth, but it came off that way becuase it was a 10 page blurb from some book.
This was never explained and the people I talked to were kind of like "oh...yeah I guess I didnt think of that that way"
So to sum it all up, people who have a really strong stance, should have that stance not because it is the only thing they know and espouse, but because they have reached an elevated position of opinion through careful, well reasoned and well rounded thought.
The teachers goal in life should be to promote this. |
holy cow i can't believe i just read all that |

hehe thanks for reading ;D
I am going to have a sit down with my teacher next week (5th day of the quarter) and be the guy who is asking at the very beginning "What is your goal with all of this" and just going through my years of being the first person to sign up for avant-garde type classes and what I felt was missing from them.
She is a civil rights attourney and this is the only class she is teaching and I hope we can try to bring the rest of the students up to speed on legal principles of reasonableness, foresight, etc... without putting them into this quagmire of social issues with no context to organize it within. |

ok, i understand. a teacher's busy. ok, well mid-terms are coming up, and the grades are being calculated. i need a ing grade for my ing report. i ask today, "Have you graded my report yet?"
Teacher: "What report?"
Heinz: "The report i gave you."
T: "When did you give me a report? What's it on?"
H: "Theoretical physics, i gave it to you 3 weeks ago."
T: "Well, I havn't seen it."
H: "What do you mean you havn't seen it?"
T: "I don't have it."
H: "You don't have it!?"
T: "Nope."
H: "So what, I don't get a grade for it anymore?"
T: "If I don't have it, then no."
H: "Who's fault is that?"
T: "I don't know. How dow do I know you even gave it to me?"
H: "Because I gave it to you in a plastic covering 3 weeks ago, and T even asked you about it last week. You know what, forget it, I'm just going to print it out again with my expensive ink and paper. Please don't lose it this time."
T: "Better for you than me then."
and gives me this ing smile that pissed me off. everybody hates this teacher. i just had to rant at this one. irrationality to the fullest. this same teacher failed me on a test because she could see the math work to the problems. when all she had to do was turn the paper around and BOOM, PRESTO, all the work was done right there on the back. when i pointed this out, she came back with the answer, "well, i didnt see it when i was grading, thats too bad. i could have u take it again and give u half credit."
THAT long ass test and in a elective class i didnt even need. i took the 30 something %. |
Christ, how gutless can one person be? The almost exact same thing happened to me with a piece of Further Maths coursework in my final year of Sixth Form. After the words "I don't have it" reached my ears, the conversation from this point on was a hell of a lot different from yours. Needless to say I got my work back the next day, complete with a grade and suggestions on improvement.
Grow some balls, this is your education. Grief. |

well theres this one teacher who i've pretty much damned for the rest of my life.
Made my high school a living hell and was very much afraid to go to his class. Some of the punishments he gave was REDIICULASE!!..
One time..one of my friends didnt bring the subject's textbook. This ****** made him empty the thrash..put the bin on his head..made him hold the broom and told him to stand at the door entrance for the whole hour.
He told him to be a "Trojan Warrior, retard"
Sad thing was nobody dared to say anything cause hes bigger than all of us.
I was his fav victim. Everytime i got questions by him in class(I wasnt the smartest..and the most hardworking of course) and if i didnt get the answers right..he'd made some stupid reason about why i'm stupid or how retarded i am. The worst thing was..he actually knew my father and compared me to my dad saying things like.."how on earth did u end up like this and not resemble like him in anyway"
He even punched me cause apparently because our group wasnt doing any discussion. Yeah.. get punched because we talked a little bit..mind u we werent even rowdy.
I mean the mans so violent in nature and hes teaching a class of 13-14 year olds. |

Most anoying thing was in 6th grade, we had to write an essay for Dutch about some subject.
I did it, worked ALOT on it, almost rewrote every line a few times till it was perfect.
Handed it in and a few days later he gave us the papers back, except mine.
He said, he had a great paper in hand and read it to our class outloud.
Once done, he praised it, said that it was a paper from college and even in college it would have given me a A+ or whatever..., then he asked me where I got that paper. He started ranting about how much I use the internet, which sites I consulted (I used books for the record), basically he was telling the class I didn't write it, that I got the paper about a very specific subject, from the internet.
I started argueing with him, pretty mad but civilized, said I worked hard on it and didn't use the internet etc...
I kept on argueing with me but I gave up and left the room, saying "If you don't believe me, then I'm done here."
He couldn't believe his eyes, and almost went berzerk :p^
I left.
Finally I got an 5/10 for the efford...
He was a good teacher, passionate teaching but from that day I almost never looked him in the eyes again...
Afterwards, some other teacher tried to get to me about that subject, a la "don't use the internet too much"...
Gotta love those teacher-rooms... |

another one from 5th grade this time.
Sports!
every other week we had some sort of 'gymnastics'. Tumbking, ropeclimbing, the useless jumping over objects with a trampoline etc...
We had to stand on our hands on some object, but I putted my left hand wrong, and fell on it.
I screamed, couldn't move, was trembling like hell and tried to keep my hand straight but because of the trembling it didn't work.
The gymteacher didn't even look back after me, he just kept on saying, it's nothing and continued his class.
I asked if I could change myself and get some air, he refused and said I should rejoin the group and continue.
My hand was really swollen, couldn't move it, had a weird hobble on it etc.
I showed it to him but no reaction.
I left the class with a friend, went to the lockerroom and changed, got some more water over it and went outside.
I was shaking and very very pale, he looked one more time and said I shouldn't be a crybaby.
During lunch I went to the main desk and asked if they would bring me to a doctor (my doctorspractice in my hometown, 15 minute drive) but they wouldn't let me go. Seeing how swollen my wrist was, no reaction.
I got pretty pissed, called my brother, he got me and went to the doctors.
Conclusion; broken wrist...
Next day I went to school , my arm/wrist macked in, went to the gymteacher and told him it was broken, he didn't finch, just said I had bad luck.
Gotta love teacher who really don't give a about you :)
enough ranting, works done

Hey where you from?
Lets see the worst teacher I had was where he would always read my essays aloud and tell the class they were written by me. He would than critique me and make fun of my writing and called me several times retarded ay my classmates hated me as I hated them. They would laugh outloud and point at me. But thats ok I never went physco or took myself serious since I did not mind them. The thing is I could have beaten the out of this guy he was only five feet. But I never did anything. |

lol.
IE stands for id est. That means "That is" so it refers to "One should make the attempt to do the right thing no matter who or how many are watching i.e., do that which is right for the sake of rightness, not for the sake of others."
E.g. Stands for exempli gratia which means for the sake of example. "I hate large mammals. E.g., elephants and Giraffes" |
i.e. = in example |

Exempli gratia (e.g. or eg)
Literally "for the sake of example", usually rendered in English as "for example." See: citation signal. (An alternative interpretation of this abbreviation: "example given".) Often confused with i. e. (see Dictionary.com for an explanation of the difference between i.e. and e.g.)
