Apologise to your teacher

[DarrenSV650S]

Do you ever feel the need to apologise to one of your teachers because of the way you treated them?


We had this French teacher in high school and she just got the p155 taken out of her every lesson and nobody learned a thing. But it was only because she was such a nice person that she wasn't able to "scare" people in to behaving.

She tried to control the class but she couldn't. We didn't give a cr@p about learning French and just saw the class as a waste of time. Thinking back, I can tell she was passionate about teaching the French language as she spent a lot of time over there. And now, I would really like to be able to speak the language and wish I had payed more attention.


I feel bad for her

Nope, i never went through a 'naughty' stage, always behaved. People do many stupid things when they are younger, i have never understood why. I think alot of its nature, as my brothers are; and always were complete *******s lol, so much so im changing my name to disasociate myself from them!

Now that question could only have been asked by one of our younger members!

There are many teachers that need to apologise to me, today they'd be in jail!

Nope!

I was a little angel at school, was in the 'A' class, got really good grades to go to university and was always polite to the teachers.

Over in South Africa if you misbehaved you got a beating - first from the teacher, then possibly from the headmaster/mistress and lastly from your parents when you got home after the school had rung them and told them.

Nope, I was also a nice child. Got on so well with one that I am now good friends with her.

No. I hated school and even though I got great results, I was only there because I had to be there.
I did meet my physics teacher about 6 years after leaving school in a pub one evenin and bought him a pint.
I told him that he was the best teacher I had at that school and that it was a shame that more teachers didn't have his approach to teaching.
He made me enjoy his lessons and want to be there.

I've nowt to apologise for. I was the quiet one sat in the corner getting on with his work.

Those that were cr@p, and couldn't control a class still chose to turn in every day and under perform got what they deserved.

Well I think teachers, like parents, these days have a raw deal. They're damned if they try to discipline and they're damned if they don't. How the hell are they supposed to disclipine kids who know all their "rights"! What they gonna do send them to the naughty step!?

Of course in our day (as other's have said) - if we did mess about the teachers would soon nip it in the bud, usually by way of flying board rubber, book over the head, rap on knuckles with a ruler, hurl you physically out of the classroom, and - if all else failed, 6 of the best from the head.

As for apologising - I personally wouldn't worry to much about it - if that teacher couldn't stand her ground then she was probably in the wrong job IMO.
