I don't like room 204, or any room Mr. Ross is in. It reminds me of how I failed his class because I had too many tardies. Almost every day I walk up to the door, no later than 2 minutes late, and put my head down as I prepare to open the door and have Mr. Ross stop talking so he can turn around and glare at me as I walk towards my seat; causing the rest of the students to look at me and chuckle slightly. When I do make it to class on time, he would congratulate me in a sarcastic way as if it was a big deal.
I used to ask him if I could use the restroom or get a drink of water, but I stopped trying. He always tells me no. He either says, "you should bring water to class," or something like, "you came late to class and you didn't bother to use the restroom before?” Sometimes it seems like he has a sexual bias. He tends to treat the females in his class a lot better than the males. He jokes around playfully with the girls and uses harsh jokes when it comes to the guys. Sometimes he can even be creepy. He would roll up to a girl’s desk and start talking to her about anything, maybe even her personal life.
In the beginning of the school year, a student would probably think he’s cool and one of the most chill teachers since he lets you cuss, drink and eat in class, but unfortunately it’s nothing like that. I often think he does that in order to trick his students so they don’t have the time to realize how hard of a grader he is or how much of a douche he can be before they can transfer out of his class.
The only thing I enjoy about that class is how fast it goes by. I usually walk into his class half-awake and by the time I actually wake up, the class is already most of the way through. I still remember the shock of joining Mr. Purdom’s class since I now have to double up on English after Mr. Ross flunked me. The difference in the class structure and rules surprised me. It’s a relief going to my third period class after my dreadful first period with Mr. Ross.
Sorry this is your experience, but glad you feel differently with me.
ReplyDeleteCould you use a lighter color for your posts (like the Hawaii one). This is hard to read.
You have TOLD me everything in this post. You are writing like a news reporter. Think what would happen if you SHOWED it -- writing it like a story, using dialogue, etc. In this case, I know the circumstances, so I can figure out the emotions. If I didn't know anything about AHS, this would be harder to understand, especially the emotions.
