Pardon me in advance if I post nastyness, Please
Well, I just got my grades and my math teacher gave me an U for
unsatisfactory work. In a way, I earned that U, as I told him that his idea of teaching stank; if I wanted to know more about nude beaches in Europe, strip clubs, and Shania Twain I'd look them up on the internet; teaching dyslexic people to do math using multiple systems at the same time doesn't work, lying about what is on a test isn't fair to the students, and that while the principal sets the tone for the school, the teacher sets the tone for the classroom. It's also my fault in that I let him talk me into staying in the course and not dripping it five times. Because of my big fat mouth, I had the lowest score going into the final, but I know I got at least an 88 on the final, which should have raised my grade to a C. BTW, I averaged 70% on my tests, missed two assignments, missed way to many classes because I couldn't stand to listen to him say "Float the buoy" and other remarks over and over again. I should have had a class average of 85% after all was said and done, but you know me and my big mouth. Needless to say, I'm debating my next move, and trying to be any cattier than usual. I'd love to get the little swamp scum fired, but then his wife (yes he also talked about her personal attributes) would have tp put up with him more often. If I had an actual address for him, I'd publish it and ask you all to send litter box offerings to him, but I don't, so may I ask you to send cyber litter box offerings to him? My clowder has already sent three cyber boxes worth, and are working hard to make more. Thanks, I feel better already, Pam S. |

Could you - cyberwise and through school public-accessible records, get his email addy and get him and Fruitcake together somehow? That is if no one has done away w/Fruitcake by that time.....they sound like a good pair of wackos. I can see it now: cyberbattle between "inflated medal-collecting military ego" and "inflated college-prof-w/captive -audience-for-his-b.s.ego". Do they have any other math profs beside this anecdotal a******? |

My clowder has already sent three cyber boxes worth, and are working hard to make more. Thanks, I feel better already, Pam S. I had a history prof like that once. He spent about 80% of class time shooting the breeze with the football team members that were in the class, and talking stats of whatever his favorite team was, who fumbled in the big game on Saturday, etc., etc.. After about the 5th class like that, myself and 5 other students got up and walked out *in the middle of his class*, making as much noise as possible (this was a "large group lecture" class). He asked where we were going, I apologized for interrupting his locker-room banter (yes, I used those words as he wasn't teaching anyone anything), and said that this was a history class, not a football club, we were all dropping his class before the pass/fail period was up and would take a class with a *proper teacher*, not a jock wannabe, in a different semester. After we 6 left, about 10 or so *more* students followed us, leaving the jocks and the slackers to their fate, whatever that was. |

Do they have any other math profs beside this anecdotal a******? Oh NO!! Putting fruitty and the sex maniac together would endanger young women everywhere. The lack of math instructors is part of the problem. They pulled this guy from the Electrical Engineering department to help fill a teaching shortage at the college. He is in the process of getting a master's degree in math. They do have a lot of other math instructors, most of whom are excellent both at their job and at behaving like the professionals that they are. This one is just totally pathetic.

All part of the problem here, and part of the reason he felt he could get away with the grade he gave me. Pam S. |

[snip] After we 6 left, about 10 or so *more* students followed us, leaving the jocks and the slackers to their fate, whatever that was. I love this story!! It's so great that you had other students who actually cared about learning something - some students would be fine with what was happening, since they wouldn't have to work hard in the class. But I would feel the same way you did, and would be angry that I'd paid for this bullsh*t. What a great ending! I wonder if the en masse class drop had repercussions for the so-called instructor?

You are a woman not scared by a sex maniac, you owe it to the other people in the calss who felt uncomfortable but are too scared to do anything about it. He probably has a reputation already, just no-one has had the chutzpah to do anything formal about it. That you got a "U" when he insisted you stay in the class, that you know you got a pass make, its all harassment. You dont need the rest of the class to back you up, you've got enough evidence yourself. Also, appeal your grade. Insist that a *qualified* person from another college review your work. These bottom feeders still think they can get away with it. They can't. And htey need someone that they can't intimidate to kick their pants. I know of no better person to go kick it :-) Purrs for you, slurpy week-old litterbox offerings to the scum sucker. Yowie |

Write down everything, as carefully and accurately as you can, and lodge a complaint. You may not be able to change your own grade, but you might be able to save other, future students.

In a way, I earned that U, as I told him that his idea of teaching stank; if I wanted to know more about nude beaches in Europe, strip clubs, and Shania Twain I'd look them up on the internet; One of the few things I regret from the time my girls were growing up is not doing more to make life as miserable for a crappy teacher as he made it for my daughter. At the time I told myself that making waves would only make things worse for her. And, yes maybe it would have. And maybe I would have been wrong. But I don't think I would regret doing the wrong thing as much as I regret doing nothing. His favorite digs were into the fact that she was born in Korea and must therefore be responsible for every notion he had of what all Korean people must be like. And into her working for a fast food outlet which he seemed to view as also making her a lesser person. For the record, she still "works for a fast food outlet" and I can assure you is earning more a year than he ever did or will. OK so she now manages five stores. At least I should have gone on record so the next victim he chose would have more believability. As for disrespecting a teacher that didn't deserve respect. Been there, done that, and got the grade to prove it. I still think his idea of economics was a crock and I still managed to graduate with honors. One of the advantages of being an adult student was not having to sit quietly for crap if I didn't feel like it. As well as being responsible for the outcome. Jo |
