Oh my gosh, rant city: Today in class, I witnessed such ridiculous disrespect from my fellow students that I wanted to slap them. Finals are coming up next week, and for some reason, kids these days think that they deserve a study guide, that they are entitled to knowing precisely exactly what is going to be on every single test.

If it was me teaching, I would have told them all to shut up. I would have told them to take their groans elsewhere. Fortunately for them, our teacher might just be the most patient human being on earth. even so, she was probably near tears. 

The thing is, she has every right to test on whatever in the curriculum she wants to test on. She can reasonably say, “know everything we have covered this semester,” and we would be responsible for just that. I am only 3 or 4 years older than most of the kids in this class but I cannot for the life of my imagine what in their heads makes them think it is okay to argue with the teacher about the material on the test. and you know what? It wasn’t even the young ones. Some of the older ones were just has whiny.

On top of that, prior to the teacher bashing throughout the last half of class, we spent the first half arguing about answers to an EXTRA CREDIT QUIZ. The quiz is for extra credit- it cannot hurt your grade, it can only help...and you are going to ARGUE with her answers after she is giving you free extra credit?

I am appalled. I was pretty certain college was about being an adult and being responsible for yourself. I thought it was about taking your education into your own hands. To all the teachers out there: I’m sorry. There may not be many of us, but some of us really do understand that your job is not easy. You put up with a lot and the last thing you need before finals are a bunch of whiny 21 years olds blasting you for not spoon-feeding them the test material. Maybe next time you should just hand out a free already answered test for them to memorize. Actually though...that probably wouldn’t be enough either.
