Biology - 16/01

I knew I was going to talk about it eventually, so here it is. I HATE Biology in my school. Not Biology as a subject, as a subject I find it to be really interesting...but my school??? Actually no, it's not my school, it's my teacher. This one teacher that I have had for Biology since year 8. For one thing, he has been teaching me for three years and he STILL doesn't know my name. Another thing he doesn't know? How to teach.

Ever since I found out he was my teacher for year 10, I've just sort of accepted that I am going to fail Biology, which is a shame because, as I have said before, I would really enjoy it if it wasn't for this teacher. He spends the entire time explaining everything in such a long0winded fashion so that everyone loses focus to the WALL at the back of the classroom. He doesn't even look at us kids, the ones he is MEANT to be teaching.

Then there's the fact that he can't keep a class under control or tell anyone off. I have literally FALLEN ASLEEP in some of his lessons and he didn't even notice. I'm telling you, he is the Professor Binns of my school.

Then he has the audacity to say that if we don't listen to him then we'll be stuck having to learn this on our own. I'm telling you now, sir, I have been your student for three years now so I know how it's going to go. You're going to stand at the front explaining eveything using the vocabulary the sixth formers are learning and so I won't learn anything in your lessons. I would try, but I've done that before and it's just stressful trying to actually learn anything in that class. When it comes to ACTUAL revison time I will just have to study the textbook feeling like eveything in there is completely new to me which is what YOU, my dear teacher, is supposed to be trying to get me to avoid.

So I'm just going to cut the middle man, sleep in Biology and treat the rest of my schedule exactly the same as before. At least this year I'm more well-rested.

Until tomorrow, toodle pip.
