it's been three years already i graduated from school and i miss everything from my old school.
One thing i remember in my college life i once have a fight with my college Philosophy teacher. The reason is this: We had a short quiz and of course i did review my lesson and i got and 18/20 score.He said to all his class that if there is no corrected by in the paper he will not gonna record it. When he saw there is no corrected by in my paper he asked my classmate who correct my paper but nobody answers then he said he will not gonna record my paper. He said that in front of the class. Well if you try to think it shows that he is trying to say that i am the one who correct my paper, I tried to talk to him and explain that i didn't check my paper and tried to ask my classmate who checked my papers but nobody really wants to admit it. So i went out and went home never asked any permission to him. i told the things happen to my sister and she went talk to him what happen. But it comes out negative they got a bad discussion and even said that i have to go to the Dean of Women because i escaped in class and bang the door. Well the banging of the door is not what really happen, it is just that the door is so hard to close.
I called my mom and told her what happen, My mom is a teacher so she knows how to deal with it and even said i am not going to the dean of women instead she is the one who will gonna complain to the higher rank to complain the attitude of that teacher.
She came that Friday and went first to the dean of Philosophy and complain about that teacher. He was called up by the dean but instead of settling everything, the dean protected his teachers well of course it is her teachers. My mom was very cool, she remains calm while talking to him but the dean and that teacher of mine don't want to listen to my mom and instead saying that it is my fault, and my mom said i know my daughter she got big respect to all her teachers and he is now in third year college. She said if you are not going to discipline your teacher well of course it will go to the higher rank.
My mom went to the vice president of academic affairs and talk about it. We both went and explain everything and the vice president told me to go out and then my mom, teacher and the vice president talked. Then finally My philosophy teacher came out of the office and tried to talk to me. He said sorry about what happen, He show me my score and even said YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO DON'T HAVE CORRECTED BY IN THE PAPER. I was shocked and got mad but i controlled myself and i said do you know how shameful you did to me? You make me a cheater in front of my classmate and you become unfair to me. I controlled myself because i was about to cry.
I said to my teacher, I GOT A BIG RESPECT TO YOU BUT FOR WHAT YOU DID ALL MY RESPECT TO YOU IS GONE. and sure thing no one will respect you if that is your attitude.
well that is one things i remember in my college life.

Wow, and I thought my teacher was a nightmare.. I am taking my class online and when I contacted him for help on a math problem, he made a comment that, "Clearly I can't take this class online." So, I called my adviser, told her what he said, and now I am spending a lot of time in math as I look for answers on how to do a problem from either an online friend or online sites like youtube, to help me..
Good thing you are now free and that your mom came to your rescue, I would like to have someone go to my teacher and tell him a thing or two, but I don't..

well we have internet all the way to look for answers especially in math, but it is sometimes difficult to understand math without a tutor.
What happen to your online math class? why is it that you can't take that online class anymore?
I am now graduated and sometimes i talk to my mom about what happen and we just laugh at it because it was a good memory. Yes I am lucky and she is the best mom in the world. Now she is old already in her 60's hehehe i wish she could help you but she is already retired.
You are most welcome about the BR..

What happen was in the first week, I was confused on why I couldn't answer a problem correctly. So I contacted my instructor for help because I wasn't able to get a 90 or above on my homework in order to take my first quiz and I was running out of time. He replies back saying that I shouldn't take this class online, but he also gave me two extra days to finish my assignments. (I am unable to take classes at the campus because I don't have a car) I replied back saying, that's okay I'll find out on my own and proceeded to get help from a mylot friend and got not only a 100 on my homework, but also my quiz. Unfortunately the assignment before last, I once again came upon a problem I couldn't get and my mylot friend is no longer here. I searched and searched, trying to figure it out and still couldn't really get it and won't contact my instructor just for him to tell me I can't take this class online./.
It's good you and your mom can look back and laugh at your college experiences, I hope one day I can do the same..
