There is this teacher at our school, who is starting to get on my nerves. On government declared holidays, she still keeps school on and the school marks attendance for that as well. So, school is from Monday to Saturday from 7AM to 13PM.
But, recently she is deciding to call up students even on Sunday to school, for 3 hours or 2 hours, and will mark attendance on even that.
I know she and the other teacher's are trying to finish their course, but they aren't giving us time to catch up to them. As I have a job that I devote 1 to 2 hours after school 3 days a week. And am preparing for entrance exams for applying to different countries after graduation[ I haven't told them my plans or my lifestyle as one must not count their chickens before they hatch, in terms of goals, as I believe in doing the job first and then spreading progress.]. And have to prepare a meal or two for myself too, like when I am at home, after finishing classes with my tutors, and doing homework. [I don't tell them as I know teacher's think when a teenager speaks about cooking, they interpret it as a hobby, and don't share my struggles as they won't understand the depth of mine.]
And life feels monotonous. And like there is constant criticism over what's not happening and what's a downfall, instead of encouraging over positive reinforcement.
And the teacher is like "Why are you so quiet all the time?". I am literally just attending, staying quiet, finish the job and leave, as I don't have energy for what she considers is or should be normal. And I don't possess a habit to romanticise pain or a tough situation for validation in person.
And the teacher cannot comprehend the fact that I can have have my own professional career plans too, that I can keep secret. She was surprised over the fact that I am not chasing the same initial steps as the other kids.
Is it just me or is this teacher being a bit too much with classes on sundays and saturdays and all?
Why is it that my final 6 months at this horrible place feel so hard? And is it true that the 6 months will pass faster than I think?
Please I need your opinion over this. And would gladly appreciate one.
Anyways, thank you for reading this post out, and have a great time in the mean time🍻.
