Guest ARTPOPSlays Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 So in my Mordern Liturature Class in school, we are doing research papers. My teacher said we can do whatever we want as long as it's appropriate. I chose Gaga and put it online (where we turn our homework in). Today in class my teacher said sarcastically "I can believe you subjected me to just this"...maybe she meant I didn't give her enough detail, all I said was a biography on Lady Gaga. Then I said "what?" Idk why. She said "I don't know if I should sensor it"...I don't know what she means by that...maybe she doesn't like Gaga? She said that about Donald Trump too  It's fine if she doesn't like her though, obviously lol. She went on to ask me if I can do a four page essay on her and I said yes, because obviously I can ?? I don't know...what do you guys think? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if I'm making any sense (I think I never do ), but I've seen many teachers and parents acting as if their jobs was to reproduce themselves in their students and children, instead respecting their individuality and allowing them to find out who they are and what's their deal...

I get your point. I guess i first thought of a university context and at that point because the gap is lesser I guess we can expect that teachers are human and know anyway they can be biased. Because even if we try we all are. But still you are right when you see their opinion can affect students. I remember in high school the teacher were not that great at giving feedback, I don't think they had bad intention but it just blocked me. Yet i always had the reflex that if a teacher was giving me an opinion i didn't like I would just not care and think "they are just a douche" but maybe that's because at an early age I faced really unstable teachers and then you can't really take them seriously Sur le sable sur la neige, Sur les images dorées,Sur le front de mes amis, J’écris ton nom Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
