I currently have a fairly good class and a teacher that I think is very good, making it all the more enjoyable.
Lucky.
My teacher likes to over exaggerate things to show that she has the power, which pisses us all off for the entire lesson.

Maths = Fail.

I dropped maths altogether (advanced, i was doing pretty good) so that I could do 4 unit english. BEST DECISION OF MY LIFE.

Actually, you = fail, since you judge an entire subject based on the qualities of a teacher.

Having a shit teacher is no excuse for someone to perform poorly in exams.

If you could read properly, I believe what I said was "I like the subject itself, I just don't like my teacher." or something of the sort.
And I don't remember saying that I perform poorly in exams.

Nice try though. (Y)

You said Maths failed, meaning it sucked based on the qualities of a teacher.

Also, you said Maths failed, yet I don't remember Maths performing poorly in any exams.

GTFO MY BoS.


Anyways, I love Maths. Possibly the funnest subject (possibly because I never got to experience SDD:mad: ) ever
Love it.

If you don't like your teacher, you are naturally inclined to not like the subject as much.

And while it isn't an excuse, a bad teacher will most of the time make you perform worse.

ahaha, yeah, I might try and keep this account. Will you also be taking maths from behind on Monday morning?

However, if the teacher missed something out of the syllabus, you fail. So it is partly the teacher's fault.

I'm okay with maths. I enjoy it because it is challenging and there is no GROUP WORK involved in maths. :) But I hate getting bad test marks :(

I don't know, I just find that in most cases, the underachievers are all like "Oh but my teacher's a fucking dumbass" or "S/he doesn't teach me the right way".

If you really wanted to perform well, you'd grit your teeth and get through it.

yeah, although u probably would do worse with a bad teacher as opposed to a good teacher, that is no excuse to do badly...thats just an excuse.
like at our school, many people with bad teachers still do extremely well...

i definetley hate maths. my teacher last term didnt teach us anything and was off school for 2 wks because he tripped over the flagpole. i mean really, who trips over a flag pole? its a huge white pole sticking out of the ground, how could you miss it? maybe walk into it... but i find it hard to beleive that its physically possible to trip over one. do i hate maths? with a passion.
