Teachers

Some of them are real assholes. Not saying all or even most, but some of them really have no business dealing with other human beings, let alone teaching.
Example 1: I was translating for a parent yesterday and the way the teacher talked down to the parent just made me want to slap that unbelievable bitch. Education is important. Parental involvement is important in kids lives, not just for their education, but for their overall development, I get that better than a lot of people here. But how the fuck are you gonna treat this person like she's some horribly negligent, irresponsible parent because she CAN'T TAKE TIME OFF FROM WORK WHENEVER THE FUCK SHE WANTS. Do you really lack the perspective to realize that some people actually HAVE to work in order to keep their familes fed, clothed, and indoors? Did you really just accuse this woman of NOT THINKING HER CHILD IS IMPORTANT because leaving work at the drop of a hat isn't an option? Never mind the fact that she's there now, stressing because she has to rush back to work immediately after the meeting, because this is the FIRST TIME SHE'S RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE SCHOOL. And then you're gonna tell her that's not the school's responsibility?
Hold up... A student's academic success, and intervening when it's clear that something is standing in the way of that success, is not the school's responsibility? BITCH WHAT THE FUCK 3E YOU SMOKING THAT'S THE SCHOOL'S ONLY FUCKING RESPONSIBILITY.
Example 2 is shorter, but fresher. On monday, the teacher tells the class they can have a pizza party at lunch today, and everyone needs to chip in $2 for pizza, and KEEPS A ROSTER OF WHO HAS PAID. Today, not monday, not yesterday, but TODAY, she informs the class that if they haven't completed that week's assignment they can't attend the party. Adding a condition after the fact is fucked up enough as it is, but this bitch has the nerve to refuse to give students who didn't complete the assignment their money back if they don't get it done by the end of the class. She says "no refunds on donations." Bitch, it's not a fucking donation, it's payment. And if you're denying them access to the thing they paid for, based on a condition you added after they paid, you're STEALING MONEY FROM STUDENTS. If it weren't for the fact that the girl that wanted her money back didn't call her bluff and just finished the assignment...
Oi.
Posting this here cause stuff on tumblr might get back to people I work with. Done ranting now.

You're better than that, bro. Don't let it get you down.
Don't let this kinda crap get you down. Some people are just stupid. You can't change that, I can't change that, no one can. Letting it get to you just makes you hair fall out, makes you back hurt and the next thing you know you got saggy man boobs and and a fucked up retirment fund.
Fuck. That. Shit
My teachers in areas i struggled in (mainly english) called my mum in times it was convenient for her, talked to her, hell, they ended up being friends and going out on motorcycle days together, it meant i could get away with less in class cause she threatened with telling embarrassing stories, but i got a MUCH higher grade than i would have thought possible, because my mum knew the areas in which i was lacking and told me to stay behind with the teacher and focus on these areas. I suppose i wish that teacher/parent talking was a lot better integrated in school life as a whole, but it shouldn't be unreasonable for both sides.
