Worst Things That Could Happen During Math Class
I will never forget the day my 8th-grade math teacher moved everyone's seats around the classroom and made me sit next to one of my bullies. She completely ignored our pleas not to be seated together on Monday, 3/2/2020. Our desks were toward the front of the classroom, so she probably heard Laurynn gossiping about me during the few days we were next to each other in 3rd period.
One time, I got stuck with a bunch of silly boys who did nothing but look up memes on their phones whenever the teacher's back was turned. I do NOT need to hear about dank weed while I'm dealing with tricky integrals, thank you very much.
I would hate to not be able to use a calculator in class.
One time, I fell asleep in a social studies lesson while the teacher was giving instructions on homework that was due the next day. Oops...
This happened to me in college like 2 weeks ago, and it was really awkward.
I was daydreaming in math, and then the teacher called on me, and I was like, Uh, what? Then I said, Oh, it's 67.
Dad: Why did you fail a simple test?
Me: I didn't study.
Dad: Your punishment is to watch Dora and Barney.
Me: NOO!
I did this for humor. I mostly pass my tests with B's.
I think what's more stressful is waiting for the teacher to give you your test so you can find out what grade you got.
I almost always fail my math tests.
It didn't happen to me in math, but in science.
You know what's worse? Not having one at all.
That happened to me, so I did it during the first hour! Hopefully, the teacher didn't see me.
It's especially annoying when it's not even my fault. This happened just because of a few troublemakers who weren't dedicated to studying math in the first place. Thankfully, I'm in the top class now, where teachers never have to resort to this.
That's what my gym teacher does all the time.
I talk to my best friends in class. No wonder the teacher doesn't let me sit by them.
The Newcomers
This happened to me back in spring 2016 when I was in 4th grade. My strict 4th-grade teacher yelled at me once for not being able to understand a math problem, even after it was explained to me several times, and sent me out into the hallway.
That was one of the dumbest reasons I ever got in trouble.
It's a good thing. My son was clueless about what homework to give us, and it was 15 pages of math, but I told her that we must eat ice cream and make paper planes for homework. She believed it. Boom.
That's a good thing for me because then I can look at things on my computer.
Luckily, my math class hardly ever gives us homework, as all the emphasis is on self-study. It's a much better system because we can really focus on the topics we're struggling with instead of repeating our best topics over and over again.
There's only so much time in the day we can set aside for homework without giving up everything else. If only Biology class understood that too...
This happened to me once, but the teacher didn't notice since I kept my backpack in front of me.
My class always has a ton of spares.
I don't get as lost anymore, but my math teacher still does this all the time.
That happened to me, and I fell on the person behind me!
This happened to me so many times. In my statistics class, it happened OVER THE WEEKEND, and it was so confusing. I couldn't contact the teacher because she wouldn't respond to my emails!
