Those Who Can’t Do Teach.

Seriously, I realized that this is very true. I grew up in Turkey and had a lot of problems with my teachers. At first it they were because my mom was a single working mom, then the problem became that she was American, then it turn into me being American. I was a very quiet child, I was respectful and loved to day dream. I hated doing homework and had back pains whenever I had to do them. It wasn’t until  junior high that I realized all my back talking, rude friends got less heat from the teachers. That’s when I decided I would never let anyone push me around. I became an obnoxious, opinionated bitch. At first it worked. Then, the problem became that I did not know how to shut up and I had too strong of a presence in class. I dealt with it. I had many fights with my English teachers, since I knew better English (yeah some didn’t know how to pronounce cucumber). One even told me that just because I was American, didn’t mean I knew English, well fair enough.

I moved to San Francisco about 8 months ago. I started attending AAU. My first semester was great and I got really good grades. I felt like this was my last chance at a career and I was doing something that I wanted and loved, which was a great luxury in Turkey. So this semester I got two online classes. One is Fashion Illustration 2. The teacher is a complete bitch. She had it in for me since the class started. Well, this might be because I am an opinionated obnoxious bitch who said something like “nobody should blindly follow books, they should follow the truth” in the welcome questionnaire they gave us. Still that doesn’t give her the right to be a complete ignorant idiot. I sent her a note saying I was sick (which I am, horrible chronic sinus infection) and I would give her my doctors note after I pick it up from the doctor’s office. So what was the answer -she told me that I should drop the class because I wouldn’t be able to pass it without a doctor’s note. Again did I tell you she was an idiot and apparently illiterate. She keeps doing this, misreading my messages and giving me idiot answers.

Anyways, I love how her bio reads that she is an f*ing amazing illustrator and is very very accomplished. Dude.. Seriously, If you are so awesome why the hell are you teaching at AAU for less than $18K a year.
