Back in middle school it was just a normal class of robotics and I forget what exactly happened, but something led the teacher to scold the class saying, âYour behavior is disgustingâ. She said it over and over again and I was just getting mad myself as I and some other kids didnât do anything. I muttered under my breath, âYouâre disgustingâ. She stomped over as she asked me to repeat what I said. So, I did âI said youâre disgustingâ, She was shocked âWhy would you say that?â, I replied âYou called us disgusting why canât I call you that? I know everyone in the class feels the sameâ. She retorted âI called your behavior disgusting not youâ. In my head I was just thinking âCalling our behavior disgusting is basically calling us disgusting what?â and so I just backed off since there was no way of winning that argument where the teacherâs logic was just nonexistent. There was something else she said about how no one in the class felt that way. But when I looked around, they just looked at me and then looked at her as if she was crazy. She failed me for that class. I shouldâve known that fighting a teacher with controls with your grades wasnât a good idea, but it was only 7th grade not exactly the smartest kid.

Office Hours: Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM. Iâll be available through Zoom and will send an invitation via email that you should keep all semester. Try to join my meeting at the start of the hour, not at the endâsince I may be talking to other students or have another appointment after the hour is up. If those times donât work with your schedule, we can schedule a different time. This means youâll have to schedule an appointment in advance. I suggest you have multiple times in mind, since your schedule may not mesh with mine!
