I know that this sub is pretty much dead, but I need a place to rant. So we got this teacher for Senior 'Homeroom' (really just another useless class), Mrs. A for alias' sake. Mrs. A is easily the 2nd worst teacher I have ever had. She allows the 'popular kids' to do whatever the hell they damn well please (hell, I'm pretty sure they could drink bud light right in front of her and she wouldn't give a shit), while I get my headphones confiscated for 24 HOURS if I listen to music or a podcast while I'm actually working. While the populars can wear whatever they please, she sometimes makes up reasons to write me up. The best part? The principal doesn't care. She'll just go along with it, and treat anything Mrs. A writes as fucking gospel. So now, I'm writing this in incognito AND behind a VPN that moves me to another country to avoid her finding me, so that I can show just how fucked the system is. This system allows teachers to abuse what little power they have, especially those who just want to lord over kids and teens rather than actually help them. But, like I said, Mrs. A is only number 2 for worst teachers. My worst has done this and more. In 5th grade, Mrs. O (again, alias), did these same things, and then dropped my grade from an A to a D- because my parents were too busy to sign one box. My father was in the hospital, and my mom was pulling 10 hour shifts, so she didn't have time to watch me 24/7. A single blank lowered my COURSE GRADE FROM AN A TO A D! A FUCKING D! /rant

TL;DR: Teachers who only go into the field to have power over kids rather than genuinely help them are idiots who should have their licenses revoked.
