Work, School, Awkward, Teachers and Teenagers: Bad omen

Bad omen

By Anonymous - 14/09/2010 02:56 - United States

Today, I had a conference with my dad, my counselor, and my history and English teachers because my dad was "concerned" about my grades in those two classes. We talked for a while and it was going well, then my counselor asked what I wanted to study in college. I said I wanted to be a teacher. He laughed. FML

Today, my dad had fun embarrassing me as much as possible in my parent-teacher conference by moaning whenever the teacher talked. FML

Today, I was talking to one of my supervisors at my new job. He asked if I knew a professor at the school I recently graduated from, and I decided to babble on about how shitty of a professor he was and how much I loathed his class. He then looked at me and said, "That's my dad." FML

Today, I asked my father for some help paying my college tuition. He told me he'd help me after I become more accredited than he is. My father has 2 PHDs. I'm studying to be an elementary school teacher. FML

Today, I went to visit my dad for the first time in over a year, as I have been studying for my Master's degree in history halfway across the world. The first thing he said to me? "So, gotten a real job yet?" FML

Today, I overheard my dad telling his work buddy that he's disappointed in his kid. I assumed he meant my brother, for flunking out of school. He meant me, for quitting sports to focus on my studies. FML

Today, I went to see the school counselor to schedule my classes for school. She asked me if I knew how to speak English. My parents are Chinese and I don't even know how to speak Chinese. I've lived in America my whole life. Plus, I even spoke to her in English to ask about classes. FML

Today, my college English teacher told me if I wanted an explanation for my grade I would have to schedule a conference to come to her office. It's an online class. I took an online class because I can't come in. FML

Great talk, Dad

Today, I was sitting in my room when my dad walked in to talk. He said I'm not the son he'd hoped for, and that he'd been let down as a father. He said I should change the way I am so that he could love me more. It was the longest conversation I've had with my dad in years. FML

Today, my high school guidance counselor tried to convince me NOT to go to college, mainly because it's been so long since someone from my high school went to college, that she got rid of all the college information she used to have. FML

Oh well. If it's what you really want to do don't let people discourage you.

Being a dick is fun and rewarding. Being a teacher isn't.

don't worry statistics show that most of the people that want to study education didn't do that well in school either way. take it from me, I had low grades and now I'm in my first year of teaching and it's going great. many times it helps u be a better teacher

Don't let them discourage you. As long as you aren't FAILING, you should still be able to get into teaching college. Just be sure to learn to teach a subject you like and are relatively good at, as it's no fun playing catch up along with your students! (I had to teach a math class--something I am neither trained in or skilled at. I actually ended up doing okay, but I was studying more than my kids!) Teaching is low pay and even lower respect a lot of the time. Be sure you really want to do it.

**** that guy. He doesn't know you. And **** anyone else who feels the need to chime in with their negative opinion about what YOU want to do with YOUR life.

i get you :( my grades have always been awful because of my ADHD and social anxiety, and while my family is respectful of me wanting to be a teacher, they don't think i can do it. they think i'm crazy.
