Sigh... My worst teachers list is tied between Mr. Paradise, my Introduction to Engineering Design, and Mr. Newell, my Economics/Government teacher.
Neither of them are competent in the slightest.
The former tells us "Go to my website and the get the instructions for your latest massive engineering project, which I won't help you with at all. You get to teach yourselves! Isn't this a great system?!"
But then he prevents us from doing our work by stopping class to show us useless powerpoints about nothing relevant whatsoever.
Also, he'll give us some projects, which i will complete within a day or two... and I'll have nothing to do for two days straight.
Then I'll go up to him and tell him, "Mr. PAradise, my work is all done. Can you give me the next project?"
He'll reply, "Yeah yeah, in a minute..."
He will give me nothing, and for two days, I'll be sitting at my computer playing Sudoku.
The third day... he will assign 5 massive projects at once.
and i'm like, O.O?!?!?!?!?!?!
I don't mind big projects... but don't give them all to me at once! I'll have no idea where to start!! And couldn't you have given me one or two of those when I was sitting there for two days with nothing to do?!
And Mr. Newell... now his teaching style, I can't object to. It's his absolute lack of control over the class that I find aggravating.
It's gotten so bad that he's been forced to separate me and the other five students in that class who actually want to learn from the other 25+ students, shove them into a corner, and just sit us directly in the front of the room, and teach directly to us six.
Now, I've no problem with this... but the other students still will not cease to be total academic bashing asses! And mr. Newell can do nothing but yell and ineffectually throw white board markers at them...
which only acts to provoke them into even further bouts of raving lunacy.
sigh... what I wouldn't give for ear plugs...
