I Hate You: A Letter To A Teacher

Apparently, I'm the worst student ever, and you know what? I don't care anymore! I'm so tired of trying to impress you, and having you shove complete GARBAGE under my face and harass me about it.

I hate you.

I will be proud to tell you that I got a perfect score on my Writing EOIs. You will be the first to give me the lowest mark in the class. I will be happy to make up work. You're making me redo work I've already done. I WILL be the first to tell you that I don't like involving home-life with school-life. You're going to make that all change.

I hate you.

Look, okay? I'm not going to do the punishment you gave me. I will make up the ONE worksheet I owe, but nothing more. It's your fault, it's my time, and you know what, I'm going to stop wasting it on you. You're worthless, as both a teacher and a person.

I hate you.

I am so sick of your snide comments about what I'm eating, about my drama roles, and about my habits - but mostly, I'm so sick of the way that I try to do something right, and you sit there and ignore it, bringing up something that I supposedly didn't do right without giving me a clue as to what it is.

I hate you.

You heard the stutter when I talked; you heard the nervous laugh. You knew I was trying not to cry - I saw it in your eyes! Yet again, you sat there and criticized me. Is that what you're paid for?! To put kids down and make sure they won't achieve!?

I hope you enjoy my disjointed words, my wandering mind, and my horrid diction. Who gave you the power to grade my thoughts?

I can't tell you how much I hate you.

Because obviously, according to you, I cannot write.

GAH!
That is the sound of me, exploding.
WTF????!!!!! Clearly, this PERSON should not be teaching. I don't know a ton about english, because I've never taken it, but I do know no matter how lacking your writing skills may be it's the job of the teacher to show you how to improve and build you up so you actually WANT to write. At least that's what it SHOULD be. And your writing skills are not even CLOSE to lacking! In my opinion you are a better writer then me and at least a few PUBLISHED authors I've read. (Including Amelia Atwater-Rhodes, who I know you adore.) And I know, I could be viewing you through SLIGHTLY rose colored glasses (if that doesn't make sense sorry, I really couldn't think of the word. :P), because I love you, but my dad was an english teacher and a writer himself and I'm 100% percent sure if I were to show him one of your stories he would say not only are you a writer, but a GIFTED, TALENTED, writer.

Whew.
Grrrr.
Maybe your teacher's just jealous? :P

Ugh, anyways, hope that helped... it totally sucks but like you said, it'll be all right. We all love you BEYOND WORDS. :)

LOVEYOU!

(Still love you)

(And yep still loving.)

(This could go on awhile.)

(Because my love never ends.)

(So I'll just say.)

(Love you forever. :D)

P.S. You better have a BLAST today!!!! I'm so excited for you!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D

Oh my lord, that sounds like horror hun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, Annapants kind of...took the words straight from my mouth. Most litterally. My thoughts & her thoughts are so much a like here.

You are one of the BEST writers I have ever known. I'm not great on the whole 'nitty-gritty' of English because, face it, I've never taken a true class on it. But still, nevertheless, Anna was right--they should TEACH you and SHOW you. (course I've discovered a lot of teachers are jerks and won't BUT that doesn't mean they shouldn't!). That teacher has NO understanding and is utterly, HORRIBLE. They shouldn't be teaching it they're that bad at this whole junk. I mean, we love you and all but we're not afraid to give constructive critism--which is a GOOD thing. Hun. You're a gift writer with many talents.

You defianately don't need a teacher to tell you that.

(I'd like to see your teacher do what you do--I agree with Anna, maybe your teachers jealous ;P. And with good right!)

Reall thought. That sucks, Lauren, and you have complete right to be mad. Even MORE than mad. That teacher had no right.

People are agrivating sometimes, huh?

Don't sweat it.

Today's going to be wonderful.

It's the weekend.

Breath the free air and forget about everything else.

Remember, we're here for you whenever you need us.

Love you for forever and an eternity,

(Okay. A. sorry about the odd 'you can lean on our shoulder thing' now that I read it, it reminds me of, 'just call out my name, and you know where ever you go, I'll come running, runing to see you again..." etc.. B. HAVE FUN!!:D )
