How to cope with teachers from HELL?
By Relax Relax of Relax
How to cope with teachers from HELL? No matter how lucky you are, you will face bad teachers in your school and college life. You might be able to choose your course and college, but you cannot choose your teachers and lecturers. Knowing how to cope with “bad” teachers is important. Let’s see how we can survive hell. Teachers are paid to pass knowledge to us. But that doesn’t guarantee that they have the proper skills to do so. A teacher can be a fine chap but there might be resistance between him and his students, where knowledge can’t be transferred from his brain to others smoothly. In another words, his students hardly understand him at class. While that’s a problem, it can be worse. Some teachers are cruel, rude, and love to fail students. What if we are unlucky to meet this kind of devil? Let me share with you my real life experience in facing “evil teacher”. Many years ago when I was doing my A-level, I had a Maths teacher named Miss Yap (her real name). She has a smiley face so my classmates and I called her Spaßvogel (“joyful bird” in German). She has the habit of writing down a lot of things on the board while talking endlessly with her motor mouth. There’s a problem: She writes too quickly and her writing is too fine. Most of us didn’t understand what she was teaching. Some of my classmates told her politely that she taught too fast and her writing was small. She just brushed the feedback away and carried on with her silly teaching. I wonder why she wasted her time and ours. She always asked “do you understand?” and quickly continued with the lesson, without waiting for any response. In reality, no one understood her. She wasn’t helpful at all and the students she helped were a few smiley ass-kissers who sucked up to her all the time. This favouritism was an eyesore that pissed us off. Many months passed and the subject was getting tougher. Class morale was low. The overall test result of my class was bad. I even handed up blank papers in some tests (alright, I drew some cute animals on them). Miss Yap herself was frustrated and thought that we were a bunch of hopeless students. Some of us hated the subject, felt like giving up, and slept at class (I was one of them). It was getting really ugly and the hope to do well in Maths exam (A-level) was low. I had only two choices: 1. Give up Maths and do badly in A-Level just like my classmates. And then blame Miss Yap for screwing up my study. OR 2. Stop depending on Miss Yap and study on my own. I picked the second choice and never regret it. With the help of my good friend, I understood the subject much better. I read more about the subject and did my own exercises. Finally, I took my sweet revenge by scoring straight A’s. Miss Yap failed to topple me and I became the winner at the end. Moral of the story: Never depend too much on your teachers. Develop the ability to study on your own in case the teacher is hopeless. You can do so with the help of your study system, resources, friends, seniors, reference books, internet etc. Your teacher is only one of your knowledge resources and there are alternative resources elsewhere. If you are independent in your study, you don’t have to fear teachers from HELL. Good luck in your exam! * * * * * * Alright, here’s an extra titbit for you. I was possibly playing with fire when I slept in front of Miss Yap (I brought my own inflatable pillow and sometimes lent it to my friend to sleep at class) and wrote rubbish in small tests. But I was smart enough to know that Miss Yap was not the person who marked my A-Level Edexcel Maths paper.
