I love, love, love, double standards!
*Especially when it comes to school!
First off, I LOVE how:
Professors act like their class is my only class and not only that, but I should love the subject as much as they do, as well as heavily research anything and everything to do with the subject at hand! -Ain't nobody got time for that!I am taking 4-6 classes at any given time and all of the subjects are different! If I were taking 4 ENGLISH classes or 4 PSYCHOLOGY classes or 4 SOCIOLOGY classes, then maybe....but how it works is -since apparently the teachers themselves don't know, there are these things called PREREQUISITES and I have to take a baby English class before I can take a toddler English class, before I can take an adolescent English class, before I can take a pre-teen English class, before I can take a teenager English class and then take a senior English class and fucking graduate!!! Yes, there are a few correlating factors to tie the classes together here and there, but not enough to where they intermittently intertwine!
Secondly, I LOVE how:
Professors can not plan out the semester and forget shit or upload the wrong notes or not have their computer or Internet work or because they were up for 10 hours writing the test one day they haven't checked any of the papers yet for the semester because "they need sleep too!" Well, you think I can say, "Hey, I didn't study for the test all the well...." or "So my paper's kinda choppy...." [because] "....I worked 35-40 hours and have 3-4 other classes....and I need to sleep too!" NO! We, [sometimes] get a one time pass and are up till all hours of the night trying to make enough money to pay our bills and put gas in our car to get to class and to buy enough caffeine to stay up all freaking night to do our homework [and well at that] so that we can get a decent grade in your class which you seem to tell us we need to care more about than you -but you want us to care about the subject like we're going to take up a profession in it! [which I get some are, but maybe not that specific subject -psychology overall vs. motivational psychology or abnormal psychology or clinical psychology.Third of all, I LOVE how:
Professors seem to only want to trip you up. It's not enough to throw a shitton of information at students, but they REALLY want to test your knowledge and understanding of something that's JUST been brought into your life. "I know you just learned this and are still trying to wrap this around your head, but I'm going to ask you a question in the most awkward way and maybe even throw in a double negative [or three] to see if you're REALLY getting what you JUST learned! And yes, I'm going to do this on the test so it can alter your grade and really give you some well-deserved anxiety."You are a TEACHER. Your job is to TEACH, not to TRICK! Not to confuse. Not to trip-up.
My concluding statement -because I'm SO used to making them!!!
Listen professors....you're lucky I woke up and made it to class after being up all night studying and after all the social interactions and books [to read for fun] and TV shows and activities and many other things I've cut out of my life for you....what the FUCK makes you think students check their school email or the school website to see if you just so happened to upload something new before class or sent out an email with some pertinent information??
You don't answer emails at 1am! I don't check emails at 7am!
