I'm dealing with a new school, and all of the screw-ups during transfer that come with it. Halfway through high school, I'm in a new school with different requirements, and I'm frustrated by it. In my old school, Juniors took chemistry, but here, it's a sophomore class. A sophomore ONLY class. To the point that I'm put in Chemistry B/C simply because I'm not a sophomore. Not only that, I'm stuck in a 10th grade English class, when I was in Honors last year!! I almost had to take Algebra I again, too, because I need credits for Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, and one other math class to graduate. Let me put this into perspective: I'm a very bright student. I've always excelled at math. AND, I'm currently taking Precalculus. So, I pretty much start to feel like my intelligence is being insulted when I'm almost forced to take the prerequisite of a prerequisite of a class that I'm currently taking.

On top of that, I'm I'm stuck with a teacher that grates on my nerves. She's like a robot, I swear. She's always got this little smile on her face, even while she hands out two or three things for us to do, one of which is generally a packet four or five pages long. And these packets are a whole other thing... ugh... grammar comparable to your typical Youtube comment, with misspellings, improper or nonexistent punctuation, QUESTIONS IN ALL CAPS LIKE THIS BUT WITH one or two WORDS IN LOWERCASE, wrong dates (I was asked what key event of the Spanish-American War occured in 1998), wrong names (such as Eugene McCarthy; his name was JOSEPH!!!), and the occasional missing gap between questions in which to put the answer. I've talked to her about them multiple times, and she swears that the packets aren't her fault. But I've noticed multiple similar mistakes in our daily questions (which she hand-writes on the board every day) and in our notes, which I'm pretty sure that she makes too. The errors are also present when she writes on the board. So, I really don't think she's telling the truth about the packets.

The way she talks, the way she screws up (she even gave me a 30% on a quiz because she graded my answer sheet with the wrong quiz paper!!), the way she rambles on and on about something in class, gets off topic, then hands us a massive homework packet as we head out the door... I hate this feeling, but everything she does seems to touch a nerve with me. I've tried to like her, or at least grin and bear it, but it's getting to me.

Am I the only one that has this kind of issue? I've never felt like this about a teacher. I'm constantly frustrated in her class, not because the work is hard (well, I've actually had to ask her about a few questions on the packets, because they literally made no sense. Sentence fragments that ask you to describe- and then it just goes to the next question, without telling you WHAT to describe), but because of the way she bugs me. The worst part about it is, I DON'T KNOW WHY I FEEL LIKE THIS. And now I'm getting frustrated just thinking about her. Ugh!

I think this might be better in the emotions forum
