Something we don't know about you...

[Rogles]

The punishment for blurting out in my honors math class is as follows:

1. Receive the first sentence of a Shakespearean love poem.
2. Google that sentence
3. Write the poem in its entirety, and bring it to school the net day.
4. Read the poem to a member of the class of an opposite gender, while holding their hand.

It got so bad the teacher resorted to this. One kid has to do 4 poems on Monday.

It's unfortunate a math teacher treats Shakespeare as a punshiment.

Hm. It started snowing at about 1:45.
It is now 3:45, and there is about 5 inches of snow on the ground.
You can see about 40 feet if you are outside in the snow.

I haven't blurted anything out. It's just like 5 kids that are constantly interrupting..

I hate my algebra teacher...

Homework everyday
She explains stuff in a weird, hard-to-understand way
She's mean

[son_ov_hades]

It's really strange to me when I hear people talk like this. I no longer view things as a student, only as a teacher.

[nintendodork]

It's really only her.  I'm quite fond of all my other teachers.

My English teacher is a hippie.

My math teacher is an Irishman. If someone raises their hand while he's talking, he asks, "Do you need to got the bathroom? Because I think you need to go the bathroom." then he makes them go. Or he'll ask if they need a hug, and hug them.

EDIT- This is him-

Says you. I think he is, was and will always be the one of the most boring authors I've ever had to read. Him and John Steinbeck (Who had to of had been paid by the word.) I love reading, but Shakespeare almost scared me off. I'm sure my opinion of him wouldn't be so negative if schools today wouldn't completely force kids to read his plays and poems, but honestly, it shouldn't be mandatory. I had to take over for a half a year for 9th grade English kids like six years ago. Teaching them about Shakespeare and analyzing Romeo and Juliet was just as dreadful as it was when I was taught and forced to read it almost 15 years ago. And then we wonder why kids struggle in state English exams, just look at the crap they have to read!

[JC]

The brilliance of some men can't be matched, which is true of Shakespeare. There may have been a better poet before or since, there may have been a better storyteller before or since, there may have been a better philosopher before or since, but never do you get such a perfect combination of the three.

From hour to hour, we ripe and ripe,
And then, from hour to hour, we rot and rot;
And thereby hangs a tale.
    -- William Shakespeare, As You Like It, 1603

That single quote says everything I just said...only with eloquence.

[Doc]

Once again, says you.

OK, I kid with that response. But eh, everyone has different tastes. For example, I love Walt Whitman, Edward Arlington Robinson and Robert Frost. Shakespeare is just too bland for me. I just could never get into him, and thought it was so pointless that every school forced you to read five or more of his works. Honestly, very rarely does a kid understand and enjoy Shakespeare's work now-a-days. And it was the exact same way for all of us when I was in my English classes in high school.
