If you arrange the word "Teacher" you get "Cheater"

I'm still college and work in the same time, usually I really am tired because of tall the things I have to do everyday, sometimes I feel so tired that I want to stop for a while.You know just for a while then again I can't. I mean I really need to finish college and I really need my job because I got to finish college, no one is there to support me so I guess I got to work really hard.Though sometimes I don't really get it, why some people don't understand what student like us go through, you know those students that have to work their as* really hard to be in school. I got nothing against teachers in general I mean there are a lot of teachers that I respect especially that one that I had when I was in 3rd year high school she was really special one of those people that really inspired me. I have this present teacher that really push me to my limit she's making me lose it, I'm not a perfect student though I'm really trying my best to survive until graduation.Last Friday we're suppose to have a big quiz, I was really preparing for it.Instead of taking my break at work I have to read notes and study stuff...I'm not complaining about that I know what I got to do and I know my responsibility.I went home quite late, maybe around 11:30pm...from work ofcourse though I hope from a concert well it's been really a while since I've been in to one.I was studying probably until 2:00am until I heard this voice...my sister was trying to wake me up and telling me that I'm quite late for school.I was really petrified, I mean I'm late...I have a test...and my Jurassic teacher will not understand why I'm late, not that I'm hoping that she'll understand but I'm still hoping though that I make it on time.I rushed on I felt like I was actually flying, didn't had breakfast, not even showered (you got to understand), my heart was beating so fast like it want to explode.I was five minutes late, there were a couple of students who was rushing too, I was really glad to know that I wasn't the only one who ever slept.As I was getting closer to the door I saw this lady infront of me and she slam the door right into me.I was like what the funk? I was kind of clueless, I knocked a couple of times maybe she didn't recognize me, well teachers barely recognize they're student they'll remember you if you're a smart student or you're that kid that drive them really nuts well in my case I was more of a ghost.I mean she let the other students come in why can't she let me, I mean they were pretty much late just like me.An hour later I was still on the hall hoping that I can talk to her and beg her to let me take the test.Students were coming out of the classroom, I went to talk to her. I told her why I was late not that she's interested but I got to make her realize that I wasn't late because I was out partying.I was actually near tears when I was talking to her, she wasn't looking at me I mean she didn't even raise her head she was just going through those papers and it felt like I wasn't even there.I beg and I beg, and when I felt like it was no use I turn around and head for the door, then she called me, she told me that I should be back after lunch and she'll let me take the test.I was relief so she wasn't really that mean,I thought she wasn't really hearing me out, guess everybody have a soft spot. I called my boss telling that I'll be late for a while because something came up, well it took a while before he said yes but he did anyway. It was 1pm and I had my test, it took me almost 45 minutes to finish the test...it's not that it was easy but I kind of study the stuff. I gave her the the papers and she ask me "Are you done?"...Ahh I thought I'm not going to pass this paper if I wasn't after all the trouble that I went trough just for this...yeah I'm done.Then I rush to work... Monday, time to know how I did.Everybody was receiving their papers I was waiting for mine. But mine wasn't given, I asked her where's my paper and how did I do...she said "I misplaced your paper."...Ok you did that's it? That's it? That's all? You misplaced my papers...maybe those are just papers for you but that's a lot for me.The reaction I got from her made me want to punched her then and there, men how can you misplace something like that and be so cool about it.Ok keep your cool Jack...she's your teacher ofcourse she's power tripping not that you can do something about it...think of something to say.I ask her if I could take the test again...she said I was given one chance and one chance is all I need, next time I better be not late. What the funk? I was really furios,men I begged, I swallowed my pride. I mean how can someone to that...the fact that she call her self a teacher...she's a cheater.My friends say I got to do something about it, I guess I got to, then again I don't know if it would be a wise thing. I mean she hates me now, she remembers my face what if she gets back on me. I just want a peaceful college life I don't really have time for those grievance thingy majig...men what I got to do?

i have also been through this type of situation and i felt like,at many times,knocking my teacher over.but this is not the solution to this problem.i am also a student where my teachers like to screw us, students up.then i found out that to get out of situations like this always remain your cool and never pretend or look to be mad at the teacher.usually the teacher will feel sorry for you but then there are teachers who are cold blooded and will do any thing to make the student sorry.in these times i hope for the best that can happen to you....

Yeah thanks...I'm trying to keep my cool instead of getting all fired up. I mean if I lose my patience it might end up really nasty...and maybe she has a good heart somewhere.

They have been a student before. That's why they know if the student is cheating or not and they somehow learn from the student too. I also have a friend teacher and they somehow do some fixing like they don't want to fail the students b'coz they know they're doing thier best so they add some points or lowered thier minimum passing grades. I also have a professor in college where he failed me b'coz he hated me for debating him.. oh man... is it proper to tell in front of class that he is correct b'coz he is the professor and I'm wrong b'coz I'm just a student? So the next time I enroll that subject I make sure he is not my professor. It pisses me off.
