Silent
Middle of the class,
Working dilligently, until I hear them.
The kids in the back won't stop talking.
I try and listen but can't.
Why doesn't the teacher say something ?
I keep silent.
Trying to listen, but the material doesn't absorb.
My teacher is talking at 100 words per second, and I can't understand.
Will I pass this week's test?
Why can't he just slow down so I can understand him? Please?
is anyone else as infuriated as I am?
I keep silent.
I don't understand what I'm learning, so I ask a question.
The teacher explains it, but I don't fully grasp what she says,
so I ask her to repeat it.
She makes it seem so easy-- she makes a face and scoffs.
You are a teacher, and you shouldn't have an attitude when I ask you to repeat something.
I keep silent.
The kids in the back won't be quiet, so I can't focus and work, say something, teacher.
I keep silent.
You need to slow down and stop for a second so kids can explain what you are teaching.
I keep silent.
You say there are no stupid questions, yet get aggitated when I don't understand something a second time.
I keep silent.
