[X]-signifies applicability to the criteria.
[X]1-Your teacher is on the wrong side meaning, you're the right one.
[ ]2-You will say it in the most respectful way(in my case, due to adrenaline rush and rage, didn't look so respectful)
[X]3-You have enough proof that you're side is correct.
[X]4-You have friends or classmates who can back you up with other proofs.
[X][X][X]5-Your teacher is completely and utterly annoying.

Okay. now, let's get to the story.
There has been a recent conflict with a certain teacher (of a really irrelevant subject that unfortunately, makes up a third of our G.A., according to peers) about his requirements. He claims that we are required to submit our monthly journals starting from 2nd to the present quarter. Well, the fact is, THERE IS NO MONTHLY JOURNAL, only a QUARTERLY one. So, at first I didn't give it much importance. What made me furious was the fact that when some of my classmates are explaining that our journals were quarterly, not monthly, he didn't understand. He said that we're only claiming that our journals were quarterly, to fool him and ease our burdens. And now, that, that made my blood rush to my hot head, boiling it, making my face turn read, and forcing me to stand up and use my right to speak.
So, as I raised my hand and stood up, I was trembling but I tried my best to look strong. I was starting to speak when he always interrupted. He told me to go straight to the point. I was like, how could I when you keep on interrupting me?*though twas only in my head. So, then, I started to speak again .
Sir, ganto po. Hindi naman kami nagrereklamo. Gagawin naman namin yan. Ang punto ko lang, gusto kong iclear out na quarterly ang binigay niyong journals.
I can't exactly remember what I said but that was my point. And then, he started off speaking again about how we are only doing this because we're finding reasons to ease our hardship by claiming him wrong. He told us that we were PLASTICS.
And I said, excuse me sir, with all due respect.........
And never got to finish my statement as he overpowered me.
And as the tension was growing, I sat down. My friend also gave her point. She cried, defending herself.
And then, our teacher(if he deserves to be called one), told us that he doesn't want that kind of tension. Then, he left. Okay. Until now, I am still furious. He goes around grade 9 sections telling the story that someone told him, excuse me sir, and he responded with excuse me too, Mr......
And I have also heard how he told his advisory class that I was rude. How could defending yourself in the most respectful way you can, be considered as rude? I, for one, am not rude. I am just someone who knows how to say my opinion when I know that I am right.
The situation is just unfair. Him being the teacher with greater authority than me. Of course, he's more powerful even if his salary only comes from us.
And another heartache of mine is that the other sections just allow him to do that. They do not fight. Only the people in our section spoke up, which gave him a reason to single us out. He now claims that he will give us additional requirements.
And therefore, I conclude that students are at the bottom of the curricular food chain. And I conclude more, that students who fight for their right, are under those who let the teachers step on them.
I was wrong to pay respects to someone who doesn't deserve it. I was wrong being professional to people who are extremely unprofessional.
And therefore, I am toast.
Til my next post(hopefully the next one would be better),
