Another Thought on Teachers

 Another thing I cannot stand is being treated like children, especially without the benefits of recess or naptime! Some teachers merely don’t convey the respect to students that (some of) the students deserve. Which of course, there is always the other extreme where they put too much on our shoulders that I don’t even believe adults can handle, but I find being treated like children is worse.

What really got under my skin was the occurrence that happened last week with the bomb threat. I found it irritating they didn’t even tell us anything was going on, but played it out as though nothing was going on. Then they wouldn’t even inform us what was going, but instead told us they were dealing with some “technical difficulties” inside the building. Even though everyone in the auditorium knew through the process of texting, I find it insulting teachers didn’t trust us to act as adults in the situation (which, for some of us, we can’t). However, even with the students who might get a little out of hand, I feel as though we had the right to know something when our lives are “supposedly” at stake. Even though there’s only a 0.0001% chance this threat is indeed true, I don’t feel it’s a risk to take and don’t think students should be left without knowledge of what’s going on.

Anyhow, some teachers don’t even see students as equals, and don’t talk to us as though we, the students, are human beings. All I know is I CANNOT wait to graduate, with the exception of Mrs. Gunter. She can come with me.
