(Real Life folks)

Start of Class...

Teacher: Today, we're covering education...Alright....Seth (me)...What is Education?

Me: "A Steaming Pile of Crap"

And, I continued to rant about EACH AND EVERY FLAW in the ENTIRE Public Education system from Kindergarten trhough Graduation for several minutes.

Eventually, we proceed through the day's notes. Then we hit the subtopic "Issues of Education". #3 was: Bilinguals.

..All hell broke loose over the most trivial matter ever...Keep in mind the teacher was already blanked off from my rant...

She said the word "Bli-Ling-wuhl". The resident class smartass (no, not me) (running joke, he always does this) said "I believe it's pronounced Bi-Ling-U-Al"

She proceeded to go on a 5 minute tear in which she said

"Well I'M SORRY if MY pronounciation UPSETS you. That's just the way *I* was tought to say the word. It was part of my Southern Raisin's, and I'm sorry if YOU have a problem with that.

IF *YOU* have a problem with MY class (Looks at him, then glances at me), there's the door, don't let it hit you on the way out, It's no skin off my back if you DO leave. ".. And so on and so on for FIVE minutes. (I would have walked out, but I need the SS credit to graduate)

OF course, during the rant:

Me:? Southern Raisin's? That's what I had for breakfast this morning
Friend: THIS is how our school system is inferior. Teachers and their "raisins". (Mumbling)Personally, I wish she'd take her Raisins and Eat 'em already

Then, as if that wasn't enough, we found out that starting tomorrow, we're covering Religion (leads to a lot of..uh..comments and thrown objects EVERY time). And, just to cap off the hour from the Twilight Zone..The *front page* headline of the Lexington Herald-Leader (I'm 99% sure it was the FRONT frontpage, although It might have been a cleverly disguised sports section) was "40 Minutes of $#%@!"

And that's my life..

:lol: That sounds like fun.

lol... i would have been laughing.

my bitchy biology teacher was kind of like that today. we were talking alot and she was like "if you want to get sent to the office then i suggest you keep talking"

Raisin? :rotflmao: Great example of what's wrong with education...schools that hire teachers who flunked out of English. I don't care if you're southern or not...any teacher should know it's raising.

I had a rather odd day too. At work, somehow I got my legs tangled up and I fell into a cabbage box. I still can't figure out how I did it...

That teacher saying "raisin'" reminds me of my 5th grade English teacher who said she spoke perfect English. One of our sentences on the board was, "I washed the clothes." but she pronounced it, "I WARSHED the clothes."

"raisin'' thats great.:rotflmao:

OMG! :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rofl: :rofl: :lol: :lol:

That is too funny. I probably would have stayed quiet but been laughing during the whole event(that's always how I was... didn't speak unless I had to).

That's ammusing :lol:

OM NG DAZ SO FUNNY ROFLOLOLOLOLOLOUIOOPN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
