It gets different in high school. She's preparing you for college and I say good for her. Teachers don't care about you unless you care enough to do things on your own and work extra hard. Seriously, if you expect high school and college to be as easy as middle school, then well...You're going to be surprised. But I'm lucky. At least this year. After slightly altering my schedule, all my teachers are amazing. I get very little homework, and I have good grades - I suppose it's because my school is stupid and only allows one honors class for freshmen (Math, and I'm in the sophomore class for that...[/arrogance]), but eh. Still lucky. Though my French teacher (Before I switched out) had some issues. She made four kids cry in the few months I was there. There were five Asian kids in my class (Only two are there now :P ), and all of us were quiet. Since she focuses a ton on participation and speaking (Which I understand), she got annoyed by this, and said something along the lines of "WHAT THE MATTER WITH YOU. DO YOU NOT SPEAK IN CHINA. IS THAT WHY YOU ASIAN SO QUIET. OH I KNOW. IF YOUR EYES ARE SMALL YOU DON'T SPEAK." ...Then someone so nicely says "Um, he's [referring to me] Taiwanese, not Chinese..." "SAME THING. I DON'T CARE." Yeah. If I cared more about the Taiwan Strait conflict, I might have went apemonkey on her. But nah, I didn't care much. I kept quiet. Oh the irony. But then someone rats her out to the principal, she gets pissed. She then lectures us on racism and political correctness, and says "I was born in the Congo, I CAN'T be racist. I'm European, I CAN'T be racist. I KNOW MORE THAN YOU SO SUCK IT UP." :lol: I would love to be in that class
