i came across a folder containing shit from primary school and most of it was jacks but i did find ONE folder that was mine and BOY WAS I SURPRISED.
enter christine 2010. the anal one. the mostly grammatically correct, spelling obsessed freak that reads too deeply into things.. and reads.. a lot.
christine 2003. small asian girl with low self esteem. good at maths and scientific things. shit at english and listening tasks.
here's what i wrote
'I have achieved many things this year, however i need to improve my English work and my listening skills. I am good at maths and i improved a lot in my writing since the year started. I am making a pretty good progress at school and I a very interested in space and the histories of countries like: Egyptian, Greek and Roman. I read lots of thick books in the library and really like long fiction books. I also like assignements and projects on space. sometimes i research things like ancient egyptians because they are very interesting.'
LOL COMPLETE OPPOSITE OF ME NOW.
i don't do any histories. i suck SHIT at mathematics and.. i'm not bad at english (though i DO go to a school dominated by asians and, might i say, UNBIASED teachers)
idno i just have a feeling, depending on the schools you go to and which teacher,
most primary school teachers are full of shit.
well .. most of mine were full of it.
i was always the asian girl that was quite and sort of mentally retarded... but good at math. they have favourites in the class (always the white girls in my classes)
but yeah. .
i remember all my teachers names
Kindy (Yr1 in NZ) : MRS VERCOE.
i remember sitting down on the green carpet as she read us a story and looking up her nose and thinking wow.. what big nostrils she has.. she was really old and wore glasses and had very short grey/white hair. she could have passed for a man if she tried hard.
YR1 (Yr2 in NZ) : MRS HADLEE.
she got married the year she had us. i wore rollerblades to her wedding. dont' think she appreciated that. i felt so out of place because everyone else had bought gifts and i hadn't. and coz i was asian. she was blonde and kind of young looking.
Yr2 (i was like wtf why am i repeating yr2) Mrs Gillyland.
super duper platinum blonde. always wore thick eyeliner. did a deep roaring voice thing when she got pissed off at us. called us her treasures. was pretty shit at finding a solution to my friendlessness and stopping the bullying. (this was at asquith) i remember one time she stood me up in front of the class and was like WELL CHRISTINE HAS NOBODY TO PLAY WITH AT LUNCH TODAY. SOMEBODY'S GOT TO DO IT. *long silence* oh boy that was SO EMBARRASSING. FUCK. i was also incredibly smart (in comparison to the rest of those asquith girls/boys bound yobos. god she was such a pathetic teacher.
Yr 3. Mrs Dallinger.
SHE was funny. hahahah. i moved schools coz i kept getting bullied like the sad asian i am. i remember she had all these catch phrases she used to use on the problem kids. and random sound effects ilek DULDUDHLSFSD DOWN DEV! NO NAVARRE! SIT STANLEY! and so on. she also bestowed upon me a nickname that would eventually stick... c.j. ...
i still remember what it was for it was in maths and she was putting initials in boxes.. to make a table.. yeah...
Yr4. Mrs Sutherland
fucking psycho. fullstop like seriously, she didn't like us using erasers in maths and one time i was using one and she picked it up and threw it out the window. just like that. just before school ended she let me go outside to retrieve it but oh my god she was such a fucking nut. she didn't even give us lollies! bitch. in terms of lollies i think Mrs Hadlee was the best. she gave us one every time we had maths.. ah.. and the sticker chart *0* i also think mrs sutherland was fucking crazy. we were in yr4 and we were ranked. she gave us ridiculous tasks like reading and writing reviews and shit on the rabbit fence - FUCKING BORING MOVIE. oh boy.
yr5. Mrs Mckenzie
she was nice. she was blond.. sort of skinny.. had really long toes. was kind of serious.. was.. actually really nice to me. uhm. i think she had favourites. she was rather nice to me because i was pretty smart.. she didn't really overdo the bravado but she DID get rid of a lot of my super shit self esteem (thanks mrs sutherland you gay hawk) yeah.. but i remember the other girls (coz baulkham hills north was a shit school with a lot of problematic kids) pressured me into putting in good words for them. like when they get into trouble and somehow i was witness they would make me go see her at lunch and say it wasn't them.. (when it was).. oh .. those were the days
yr6. Mrs Kindleysides.
just because her name has a 'kind' in it, doesn't make her nice. she was a witch o_o. she had short blonde hair, had enormous sides.. ehh... she had an english accent. she .. made us do everything english (in my opinion she was more than a bit racist) she gave me a detention and a warning (which was something very serious) for.. guess what? crossing the road. this was at like 4.30 when everyone was gone home and there were no cars and i was crossing the road.. to get to my mums car and she happened to see me. she made me walk down the street and cross at the crossing and walk to her so she could tell me i had detention the next day. FREAK. she also made the school days lame things like mediaeval day. in fact most of our education was based upon mediaeval england. a whole lot of rubbish she made us do on castles and jousting and flags and feudal systems and other stupid shit like that. FUUUUCK. she also shouted at us a lot like a pmsing bitch. one time i turned around. like i didn't even turn around (i was going to) and she shouted
CHRISTINE! PAY ATTENTION! IT WAS SO LOUD OMG SHE"S SO ANNOYING ARGH
so you see, primary teachers are mostly full of shit.
they really should consider raising their standards. it's young peoples' minds we're talking about here. most of my teachers were CRAZY. OHMYGOD.
and all white . hmmm..
needless to say, my highschool teachers (psht DUHHH I GO TO ONE OF THE BEST SCHOOLS IN THE STATE. AND THATS NOT EVEN JUST AMONGST THE GIRL SCHOOLS)
are of a significantly higher calibre.
they're the material the best teachers are made out of
teachers you can have a genuine conversation with.. who have character and.. dont COMMAND respect and good behaviour.. but they get it anyway because.. they're awesome?
HAHAHHAHA
omg the other day i saw mr farrel. he had short hair and i was going to say hi (but his chinese wife was next to him and LOL instead i stared on going :O
SO THATS WHO HIS NEW WIFE IS
hahahahaha.\
but yeah i would rather home school my kid than send them to a white school.
like seriously they literally said things like ' what are you doing here? why don't you go back to where you came from? '
which is ironic coz they were white and i could just as easily ask the same question to them but back then i thought they were the lordly white shitheads and i the lowly yellow banana.
this is miyavi. can you believe it? apparantly so. he's cute.. minus the hair :0
