Live the Life that they'd Make a TV Show About

Sometimes you just see a combination of posts that really crystallizes something for you. thank you spcsnaptags for putting these thoughts together this way.

I had an english teacher tell me that she was one of the smartest people I would ever met when I corrected her on the definition of gaslighting

One time my English teacher put me in detention because I corrected his pronunciation of Pompey, which he said like “Pompeii”. I raised my hand and he apparently didn’t like being corrected, and said I was getting detention for disrupting class. I didn’t like that, because I knew he was saying the word wrong. So during study time I went to his desk, and I backed up what I was saying by showing him the pronunciation guide in the text book. He said, “No one likes a smart aleck.” And the detention was extended from a day to an entire week. That was about when I decided not to listen to teachers anymore.

I had an English teacher spend the entire English lesson tallying up our year end grades. Everybody in the class was to take all our term papers and essays scores, average them out in the complicated equation she devised. And if what you got and what she got doesn’t match, she spent the next 10 minutes abusing you. I got called a r****d because in my nervousness and stress I failed to round up to 1 decimal point to her satisfaction. The next day, when the entire class expected her to apologize for her truly bizzare behavior, she only said that “she will not apologize because she did nothing wrong.”

In fifth grade we had to do a creative writing thing and I had a character say “I’m ever so lonely.” I also had a dragon “take wing.” The teacher circled both of those phrases and told me that they weren’t English. ?!?!?! That was the year I realized that teachers weren’t tiny gods and didn’t actually know everything.

When I was in first grade, I got marked wrong on a spelling test for capitalizing “North Pole.” Not because it’s wrong – it’s correct if you’re talking about the northernmost point on the planet, not the north pole of any old magnet – but because we “weren’t supposed to have learned that yet.”

My brother got in trouble when he pointed out to his physical science teacher that aspirin was, indeed, an organic chemical.

I am 41 goddamned years old and I am still bitter about my 7th grade history teacher who took points off of one of my papers because he refused to believe that plethora was a real word. He didn’t appreciate the dictionary gesture either.

Jumping in on the asshole train – I was in third or fourth grade and used the word “minute” as in, something very small. Not only did I have points taken off, my teacher called my mother about this and my disruptive behavior. My mom, being my mom, only heard that I had “acted up” in class and was “very disrespectful”, and grounded me for a month.

I had this scheduled because it’s May 18th but it has an entirely new meaning this year
