Mine are...
When you ask a teacher a question, you expect a simple answer, right? But when the teacher answers, the explanation's, like,5 minutes long I mean, I just want an answer, people! Not the world's largest essay in the world! It's not that I don't like any teachers that teach at my school, but sometimes, things can get pretty annoying.
Okay, so it's group discussion and people are raising their hands for comments, questions, and answers. You aren't because you don't know what the answer is, you're too shy, or you really don;t have anything to say. And then the teacher picks on you. YOU! Out of all the people in the class, the teacher picks YOU! I sometimes am so speechless because of my shyness or my lack of conversation. I mean, a person doesn't raise his/her hand for a reason!!
The class is all pumped up, talking, walking around, even goofing off. The teacher is waiting or saying quiet down but the group doesn't listen. I'm the only one quiet, longing for the class to SHUSH! I mean can we actually learn, here? Actually have a class? I find this terribly annoying and a waist of precious class time.
What are your school pet peeves? If you're willing to share, go right along! I don't mean to offend any teachers or student's different opinions but this is what I think. If you're a teacher on this site, please work on improving these areas. Comment on what classes can improve on.
