vivalaultra 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2006 Uh...I dunno. I guess. I don't speak Spanish. I only speak Latin, English, American Sign Language, Biblical Hebrew, French, Texan, Cajun, and a complex series of clicks and voiceless inflections that I call Onjawanjadoobie.

For 50$ I'd write anyone a big fat essay...I can't gurantee that some twits won't get an essay about Ted Hughes, star of Mary Tyler Moore or some other bullshit though.

PUT THAT DICK IN MY MOUTH! 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2006 Some of the best teachers I've ever had have been English teachers. So was the absolute worst. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Felonies! Report post Posted October 17, 2006 Communications and AP English were my worst, Honors Freshman English and American Studies my best. You really do get the dizzying highs and terrifying lows in English departments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2006 I once had a prof who would regularly quote his own poems when trying to illustrate whatever windbaggy point he was trying to make about whatever book we were discussing. I kind of hate him, but he's currently the department head, so you know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snuffbox 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2006 Quoted his own poetry? Yeesh. I dont think I've yet had any of these 'dizzying highs' in the English dept that Czech speaks of. Unless you count being hella stoned during class, or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2006 I pity you, then. The handful of great classes I've had set me on the course I am today. But yeah, a good portion of any typical English department rivals the philosophy dept. for biggest collection of pretentious douchebaggery at any university.

PUT THAT DICK IN MY MOUTH! 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2006 My Intro to English class was the worst. The professor, a black woman of Caribbean descent, focused almost exclusively on postcolonial feminist bullshit and managed to turn nearly every class into a discussion about how oppressive the white male patriarchy is. She was also really disorganized and didn't seem to care about the class too much. And Jane Eyre was on the reading list. Ughh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snuffbox 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2006 I have enountered a few of the teachers/professors that were compelled to share their poetry & they were always convinced it was material capable of giving Wordsworth or Ginsberg a run for their money. The glaring fact that they were awful has always made it impossible for me to take them seriously...and at that point, there's no way for me to 'learn' anything from them.

snuffbox 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2006 I've never had a History or Mathematics etc teacher make it painfully clear that they didn't deserve to be teaching the class any more than I did. English - nearly every time. Then, I drop out and try something else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Felonies! Report post Posted October 17, 2006 My math teachers were pretty bad about understanding that advanced algebra doesn't come naturally to everybody, but I think that's a common thing with the algebraically inclined.
