I had total Bender vibes Wore a black leather jacket all the time, angry, sad, explosive when pushed So also a magnet for teachers trying to enforce lines because I fit a type. They all thought I was from a crappy home when really I was just dealing with personal drama

I got into a huge argument with an English teacher Sophomore year because she wrote test questions ambiguously and then wouldn't give me the points when I pointed out I had answered correctly and her questions sucked.

I wouldn't let it go and kept trying to argue with her that it was inane to expect me to read her mind and interpret how she had INTENDED the question to be answered. She basically told me to STFU and I decided she was dumb.

Then I had a chip on my shoulder and thought her book choices for the rest of the semester were boring (Silas Marner and Rebecca) so I just didn't read them and tried to answer the questions from context and Sparknotes. I think I got a B in her class.

My Junior year English teacher was at least smart, but she was EXTREMELY finicky about process and very sensitive. She started crying one time relating a story about a tree in her backyard that had been meaningful to her. Okay, whatever, kinda rolled my eyes at her.

Our big fight came when we were supposed to read a short story and write down our reactions to it for discussion. She wanted us to fold a piece of paper into a fan shape and write down the columns for... reasons? Aesthetics? fuck if I know I didn't want to do this

It was a very stupid thing to fight about (my objection was as dumb as the requirement) but I insisted I was just going to note my observations on a normal piece of paper in my notebook. But no, it HAD to be a folded fan. She told me if I didn't do the fan, I had to leave.

So I said, fine, I wasn't gonna do it. I HATED being forced to do pointless things (I saw much of high school this way and obviously had a complex about it). She made me leave the room while they discussed the story and I just sat in the hallway.

Later, she told me I could do it at home to make up the assignment... but it still had to be the fan. I told her there was NO WAY in which she would be getting a folded fan of reactions from me. This turned into a WHOLE BATTLE that made it all the way to parent conferences.

When she met my parents she was like, "Uhhh... you guys are not what I expected. Your kid is smart but doesn't do their assignments." My mom sighed and was like, "Does it have to be a fan?" It did. We dropped it. I did not make a fan and took the F.
