biology teacher

[F L E S H]

I've been lucky in my schooling. Most of my teachers have been average, not good or bad, and some have been really good. I consider myself lucky that I never had a bad experience with a teacher.

Anyway, I'm in 10th grade, and I have a terribly shitty biology teacher. Mr. Richardson. The other day, I got in a huge fight with him over something that nobody should ever have to argue with anyone whose life is devoted to science--we argued creationism. First, he started giving us a little spiel about how, as soon as a sperm cell and an egg cell meet, "that's you, that's a little baby." That pissed me Rating: 5

Anyway, I'm in 10th grade, and I have a terribly shitty biology teacher. Mr. Richardson. The other day, I got in a huge fight with him over something that nobody should ever have to argue with anyone whose life is devoted to science--we argued creationism.

First, he started giving us a little spiel about how, as soon as a sperm cell and an egg cell meet, "that's you, that's a little baby." That pissed me off majorly, because I'm one of those pro-choicer baby-murdering motherfuckers. So I told him, "No, Mr. Richardson, actually you are wrong." It's about the ballsiest thing I've ever said to a teacher. I was very proud.

He started saying that as soon as those two cells are joined, that's life, and that's a baby. I argued that a sperm cell is life, and so is an egg cell. And that, in fact, any single cell is its own independent life, as he had taught us.

He didn't like that. Then we got into fetuses.

yes, it is life.
maybe you were trying to discuss something else and you call it 'life'.
do you think you meant soul instead?
coz the two things are mixed; sometimes we say life and we want to say soul, or at least try to express what that concept might be.
I think the classroom is the place to teach and learn, I am a teacher so I think any discussion is welcome but if you enjoy talking to your teacher I see no problem that you go on with the discussion outside the clasroom if he is a real teacher he is also a student and he will like to discuss those things with you.
one thing is already very positive: you are making it "useful" going to classes; you are taking something out of the time you spend there, and what really matters about education is how it helps you making and building the big pyramid construction that will be... you

hey dude ive been having the same problem with my spanish teacher, i speak spanish and i got like a 97 in that class, i shouldnt be having problems in that class, but lately this teacher has been acting all ocd, add, and bipolar. in the beginning of the year we talked real cool and i even joked around with her that we were gonna get real wasted at a party, she was like maybe wen yur 18 and im not yur teacher nemore ill go with u, but now shes real mean, she got on to me for trying to draw a "picasso-style" picture about corrupt authority figures, she even called an administrator coz i told her that its a perfect subject for that assignment and i argued with her about it during class, now shes always giving me a mean look and just completely hating me, i feel bad coz i really like this teacher and the year is almost over but now shes all bitchy

that reminds me of my welding teacher, funny as hell because we talk about weed in that class all the time and almost all of the kids in that class are stoners.

wow this sounds exactly like my biology teacher. im the wise ass of the class and i always try to debate what he says. turns out i get a 55 on my participation grade every markin period because he cant admit when hes wrong. some teachers are jsut dicks.

my biology teacher is a nazi

[ezjim]

id tell him that as soon as he has fed /clothed /sheltered /and educated the children we already have on this planet then we can talk about SOME limits on abortion but until that has been accomplished the subject should be off limits

Disagreement and debate are great excercises for open minds. Unfortunately, critical thinking and honest debate will not happen in 10th grade. Your grade will be better if you just memorize and spit back the pablum. Revenge is sweet when you turn out making 5 times his salary as an adult.

You will meet up with a only few very good teachers in your life. Let them know that they are appreciated.

Peace

I have many teachers with whom I do not share views with, For instance some of my teachers believe that "Nature" or "God" is a dictator. If someone replaces Nature for God It dsent really matter because they are just words describing an underlying truth, which you know for yourself and it is therefor better to pretend that you like him and ignore is ignorance of your "God".
