So . . . do any of y'all have any weird or interesting teachers?
My history teacher is probably one of my best teachers, and I really like him but he's kinda strange. He has a full-on skeleton on his car that he dresses up as Santa Claus on Christmas, he has a ton of star wars, anime, harry potter, and fake historical souveneirs. He also claims he's an immortal being who drinks student tears for immortality.
My science teacher I mildly dislike usually sends people to the back of the room when they're talking. One time, someone started laughing at this person in the back of the room, and she said "No! Don't talk to them! They're dead to you, ignore them!" . . . it was . . . peculiar.
My math teacher lets us chew gum in class, enjoys football, dislikes shopping, and she specifically said to us, "You may whine, but only during whining time", which is after we get tests back.
I have some interesting teachers XD

So my Language Arts teacher just left a whole bunch of comments on my essay/paragraph/thing AND emailed to say I need to meet with her tomorrow, and here's the thing: the only problem she has with my paragraph is that I interpreted the text differently than she did. In fact, the only major problem she has ever had with my writing is that I was unable to read her mind.
I wrote this kind of very sassy letter, which I am absolutely not under no circumstances actually sending to her, but I thought I might post it here because I'm in a really incredibly rant-y mood right now.
Dear (teacher),
I didn't know that you expected me to read your mind. I apologize. If I had known that, I absolutely would have read your mind and written the paragraph using your words and your interpretations. I'm sorry that I interpreted the text differently than you. Next time, I'll be sure to read your mind and limit my thinking to exactly what you think. Thank you very much for pointing out my limitations.
I have the honor to be,
Your obedient servant,
(me)

This letter is actually the best. I love it.
And let me just say, that teacher has an extremely unfair way of judging her students' writing if she believes that her way is the only way; I just want to say, if she tells you guys to be open-minded she is a hypocrite because that is an extremely biased way to grade. Interpretations of writing can go so many different ways. Plus, this shows that you might be more creative than your teacher!! Augh. That makes me so angry on your behalf. :(

Thanks! I’ve now written two pages explaining why I disagree with her comments, but it is... slightly argumentative, so I’m not sure if I should give it to her. I’m planning to use it as talking points during my required meeting tomorrow.

Oooh, good for you!! I feel like this is a more reasonable argument than most teacher v. student type disagreements; it's not like you're in trouble and trying to worm your way out of it, so she'll probably side with you more easily.

I have a social studies teacher (does anyone else call social studies Individuals and Societies?) who is really open minded and awesome, but she's also my homeroom teacher. In homeroom, the protocall is to read or talk quietly. However, on Fridays, we can listen to music or play games on our chromebooks. Anyway, once, on Friday, she randomly started playing "I Want It That Way" and BLASTED it on our Promethean board. Also, on Wednesday (or Hump Day) she plays that Geico commercial with a camel in an office (Google Humpday mikemikemike) and laughs really hard and expects us to laugh as well, even though it's really predictable if you've seen it enough times. She's a really awesome teacher though.
