[BE88] The Strategist

I'm moving there. I feel that Blogger is not keeping up with the times, and that its functionality is very limited.

This seems inevitable, doesn't it? Here's another post on why I hate my school.

1. Whiny and annoying teachers
For the past one year, my form teacher has been telling us at least once a week about how our subject tutors have complaints about this and that. He tells us that they complain that we're too noisy, we don't answer questions sometimes, or that the teacher just has some pet peeve that's retarded beyond being a proper and amicable human. He tells us that the moment he steps into the staff room, he's stopped be a teacher at least five times for complaints before he reaches his table. Its so bad that he goes off to hide somewhere else to work instead of the staff room. At first, I thought its just my form teacher that's just that annoying, but my Chemistry teacher says that all form teachers would be like that.

But seriously dude. Why the hell are my school teachers so damn bitchy and whiny? Why the hell do they complain about every single damn small piece of detail that happens? Are they bored or something? This hasn't happened even once in my primary and secondary school days. Not even once. Fairfield teachers will only come and nag if its a really big problem.

2. Forced to cheer for competing teams
Apparently, because there's some guy from soccer in my class, and my form teacher is in charge of soccer, he asks us to go to the location of the match to support him. It supposed to be part of the "school spirit" that's unique to my school, and also something to do with how the sports teams will always have supporters (and supposedly very enthusiastic supporters). First, I don't like sports at all, and I'm only neutral with indoor sports and maybe I somewhat like racing. Second, I don't really care what happens to the result of the sports teams, they can lose everything for all I care. Third, don't freaking make me travel all the way to the other end of the island (extreme east). Well, I got forced to go watch the Chinese drama act for their SYF competition, because the class wanted to go. That wasn't so bad, mainly because its right in school, its air-conditioned with comfy chairs, and I finally get to visit the inside of the Centre for Performing Arts. Also, sure beats soccer or rugby anytime. Watching Singaporeans play soccer or rugby is like watching the Special Olympics (I came up with that myself). Interestingly, by making me do something I don't want to do, I'll just hate my school even more. Its been almost one and a half years since I entered this school, and I don't really feel any sort of connection with the school yet.

3. My standard of English is dropping, I think.
After being in a primary and secondary school with teachers that speak proper and coherent sentences, I ironically find that my school teachers (at least those that teach the Math and Sciences), speak horrible English. You'll literally hear a grammatical mistake in one of their sentences once every five minutes. Its seriously that bad. After a year of hearing such stuff, its slowing starting to rub off me. Its not even the complicated mistakes that they're making. Its just the simple use of "are" and "is" after a plural or singular term, things like that.

4. Annoying acts of etiquette
There's this really dumb rule that we cannot go out of the hall if there is someone speaking on the stage. If we do, its only if we really need to, and if we really do go out, we'll either find ourselves stuck outside the hall for a while, or we have to sit at the nearest possible seat from the door (apparently to minimise walking). Its like, dude, if I want to go for a poop, I go. Its my right, its my human right. People need to poop and pee once in a while, and adding unnecessary rules like that doesn't help at all. Not allowing us to go to the toilet when our bladder/rectum is full is tantamount to torture.

5. Supposed HOD of Physics
Spends 40 minutes in a tutorial going through 4 Physics questions, and the whole class leaves the tutorial with none of the 4 questions answered. Apparently, "this question is very straightforward so you should be able to do it". Also, torture: see above. There's more than this man who can't teach at all. I have no idea why my school is filled with such teachers.
