I don't know whether its me or is it the students here. Before anyone gets angry with me I'l exclude. I'm only referring to my students..Not any other students from anywhere in the world. I feel like there is something different abt them.
I am not that old. I just graduated last September and these studnets here a either my age, or slightly younger than me. Its not like I'm an old fart sitting and observing the changes in society thus being able to comment on people. Honestly, it feels different.
When I was a student I used to study very hard. I started studying quite early so that I don't rush towards the end. I welcomed mox exams and tests as a practice for the real one. I did an external paper so our exam so my college did not set the real exams. It was done by university of london.
My students are a complete opposite. They will complain abt assigments, mox and extra classes. What is wrong with them? Don't they realise that it is for their benefit. I mean when I was their age, I understood the reason for the tests, assignments etc.
Some of my students don't even turn up for the exams which is quite unacceptable. I mean we do our part as the lecturers to prepare exam papaer, set aside time to mark their work and even prepare for classes. All they do is complain..What is the world coming into???I sound like an old fart now..
So sometimes when i hear the students passing stupid comments with regards to the college and the exams, it pisses me off. Cos they think they are damn smart. If they are tt smart go and study on their own. Why do they come here and study? To waste money??
I really hate it when they don't come for class and they ask for help. I'm a bit of a bitch when it comes to my students. If i have a class u better come cos I'm not gonna repeat the class for u. even if the attendance is zero (it hass never happened), I'l see it as if i've done tt class and I'l move on with the next topic.
When i was a student, I knew when was my classes. When I miss class i don't go around begging for help. I know its my fault so Il read up on my own..
The thing tt pisses me off the most is that they don't take their studies seriously and when they fail, they'l blame it on the college and of course the lecturer. I mean what the hell right?? This really pisses me off.
If the lecturer is bad, then fine. You have the right t be angry and pass comments abt the college. this is what the students don't see.
Once, I was giving back their assignments. So I'l normally see those who did badly. So a students said:
'Ms, if we don't do assignment then we need not to see you.' this is because if they see me i'l lecture them for a while.
So I told straight to their face, 'You better send in assignments and see me nor. If not you'l see me again next year in the same class.' For a while they kept quiet..
I really don't know what is it with them.. They really make me angry sometimes. I just scolded a class..
I'm not nice as a lecturer. My bf told me that I should be one cos I like to scold.. What does he know:p
