I AM ABOUT TO RANT

about the absolute absurdity and audacity of some of the faculty on this campus. This past week I have been berated relentlessly about failing my history exam for my foundations of education course. This particular instructor also felt that one shaming and guilt trip remark was not enough. He had to send an entire email to EVERYONE to scare those that failed (31 out of about 100) into dropping his class because of our poor efforts and lack of motivation. I do not see how my failure to pass ONE exam warrants this thought that I am not motivated nor passionate. This instructor has not made an effort to get to know me, as he promised he would with students. He is openly biased in class, and has already made strong suggestions as to how he thinks teaching, and picking future teachers should be conducted. I do not carry many of his same beliefs, and I make my point known in class. I stand up for what I do belief in and I can argue and defend my points with strong conviction and validity. I am not a weak little college student that needs to be shamed for having an off day. I am not someone who will sit back and take abuse like this from a grown man, who resides on our insidious school board, electing officials that mock activists and compassionates alike. I stand strongly against what is grossly wrong within our public education system and our society.

And most of all the main reason I want to become an educator is to try and spread the same sense of awareness to question what is given to you, always. And to NEVER lay down and take abuse like that. Come tuesday after class, I'm telling this particular instructor how much he offended me with his email and so very sadly mistaken he is to underestimate me. I don't take any one's bullshit. Least of all some Ph.D toting biased nincompoop.
