challenges of finding a professor I can tolerate
about
I once had a professor who said I was "going into The Twlight Zone," due to a comment I made in class about a topic of discussion. Another English professor I had years later couldn't handle a letter of constructive criticism I presented to her, so she pretty much chewed me out the next day she saw me-in front of the whole class. She kicked me out of her class for inane reasons. One Philosophy professor, some dimminutive guy, made a stupid, unnecessary comment about my so-called quietness. A young English 101 teacher pulled me outside of her classroom with a wierd look on her face. She thought it was oh-so-important to ask me why I said, "No comment," when she'd said something to me. She wasted about 15 minutes of my time and money putting me on the spot. Just recently, a Math 91 teacher mocked me in the middle of class, read into things that weren't there, asked me if I was able to see the chalkboard, probably because he thought I had a blank look on my face. That guy thought he knew everything because he's been a teacher for 32 years. So what? That's the wrong attitude to have. One young HLF teacher gave me a funny look because she thought I was saying something smart to her, which I thought was ridiculous. I know me. If I wanted to say something sarcastic to anyone, I'd be more deliberate. People like this make me sick, be they professors or students. These people are petty and, in my opinion, a little ignorant and immature. I hope I never have to interact with these people again. People like that make me not want to interact with others. BCCC is not a terrific place to be because of the trivial problems I've had to face. If I didn't have to attend community college just to move on to the next academic/professional level, I wouldn't. Quitting is not the answer, because I'll end up facing these problems anywhere. Screw anyone on campus who's ever given me a hard time for no good reason! Screw anyone who's ever made fun of me or made mindless comments about me!
