Title: I might not graduate!
Post by: Zach on May 04, 2009, 07:08:58 PM
Because somehow in my English teacher's world two missing assignments for the quarter = failing the semester. I had to write an essay comparing two marriage proposals from works by Jane Austen and Charles Dickens and I'm now working on some poetry explication for The Lady of Shalott that I'm plagiarizing the hell out of. The counselor already wants to fail me even though we haven't taken finals yet. Yay!  :3

If it makes you feel any better, I didn't fail high school.

It's my own damn fault for not doing the assignments on time, but once again I wonder how two missing assignments can mean that I'm failing the whole semester. Then again, this teacher plays favorites more than anyone I've ever seen, and she hates me.

If I do fail, I guess I'll learn a trade.

If the two assignments were major essays, then it could conceivably make sense.

And it just means that you'll have to make the class up in summer school.

My English teacher thinks she's the best teacher the world has ever seen.  She also can't stand me because I refuse to do her stupid journal assignments.  giggle;

I dislike with a passion the inserted premise and basis of our system which underpins the the correlation between work ethic and marks. May not necessarily be the case for all, but even one case is one too many.

I think I've got everything pretty much wrapped up. Surely she won't fail me if I have everything turned in.

Then again, she can be a stone cold bitch. We'll see what happens.

Fail, my ass. I turned the papers in today and now have everything but one assignment in, and I should have that done today.
