What gives teachers the right?
 

So, apparently some college professors seem to think that just because they have that status they somehow have the right to be rude.

And the same goes for old people (especially old women)... (especially old FEMINIST women)

argh.... anyone else had any bad experiences with people being rude and think that its alright because of who they are?

Just spit in their face if they are rude to you.

Yeah, I've had teachers who think superiorly of themselves. I'm not sure because I'm not in college yet, but I think Professors are supposed to be even worse than K-12 teachers. Maybe one of our older members could verify that. Anyway, I don't tolerate it.

None of my professors have been too bad so far. Well, one I wasn't too sure of, but I dropped the class before I could find out...Basically I like my other professors though, they're pretty nice people.

I wont let teachers be rude to me...I establish myself as an outspoken, opinionated, take-no-crap-from-nobody student from day ONE. If they happen to speak rude to me, I speak rude right back to them...they DONT have the right.

Things used to be worse, though...I remember my dad told me that when he was in highschool, one kid mouthed off to a teacher and the teacher literally threw the kid down the stairs. No charges.

who put sandpaper on your toilet seat?

just because you're a pushover, doesn't mean you can hate on people who aren't.

PFFFFFFFFt. :rolleyes:

Re: What gives teachers the right?
 

Wow, that just sounds overtly bitchy....


anyhow, my academic advisor is also department chair and a professor, and he likes to intimidate peoeple.. and yeah.. it sucks... just have to stand strong... AND TAKE IT.

Taking it isn't being a pushover, taking it is realizing what you need to do to get ahead... figure, almost any profession makes more than that or a professor or teacher... if you grade depends on taking their bs, and cringing in side, then just do it and figure than you'll be making twice as much as them later :)

well, I do take pride in being an asshole

Re: What gives teachers the right?
 

Yea. If you get pissed at them thats exactly what they want. Just ignoreing them is the better thing to do.

Re: What gives teachers the right?
 

yeah, ignoring them is the best thing for me... which is why you all get to hear me rant about it *wink*

This was not a yes or no question. Is it the only one?
The obvious one.

haha, yeah it looks like he could do his share of confusing her... at least it will get her off my back while she tried to figure what was going on

Re: What gives teachers the right?
 

Some professors need to be shot. However, shooting all the dumb, annoying, smart-ass teachers will cause a shortage in the already slim pickings of teachers, so we can't do that.
