Doom

Our whole class is DOOMED! DOOMED I tell you. We will all fail our history, except those lousy muggers. *cough*Aaron*cough* After spending ONE week of history lessons playing HANGMAN in class, today he finally started on what I think might be called teaching, except suckier. Fact is, he suck as a speaker. His voice doesn’t have the attention-grabbing effect at all. (not that other teachers can really get me interested in the lesson… but at least I can hear them clearly)

Here’s how the lesson goes.
He: Who knows what is “Imperialism”?
Class: Silence….
He: Ok, [calls random name from namelist], what is “Imperialism”?
Pupil: [wrong or semi-correct answer]
He: That’s not really correct. The actual definition is…. blahblahblahblahblahblahblahblahblah. Blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blahblahblah. Imperialism blah blah blah blahblah. Western countries blah blah blahblah blahblahblah. Economic blah blahblahblahblahblah.
Class: WTF?!?!?!?!

True story. It didn’t just happen once. He likes to say a whole bunch of stuff in one of those soft voices while looking down/left/right, ensuring that you NEVER get what he say, then later repeating a few of the keywords. That means you end up catching maybe a bunch of words like “Political”, “Social” and “Economic”, with absolutely no idea wtf they have to do with each other.

For those times I DID managed to get what he’s saying, I realized that the informations are all CRAP. Basically what he is doing is reading from his notes, which sounded like they were copied from a textbook somewhere, providing no elaborations or areas for discussions. Heck, the notes he gave beforehand about the prelude to the Vietnam war was more interesting than his droning.

I can’t believe I’m typing this, but I want Mrs. Ang back!!!!!!! At least her lessons provide us with things outside of the textbook.
