Today was the joke that is General Studies! Yes, my class had a teacher who, fo all his talking, the only thing I really noticed was what a little head he had and what shiny shiny shoes he had! I could see my face in them!
Anyway, the unit right now is ’space’ but it all went down hill right from the start when he asked us to do a graph and then followed that up with the statement
And as you can see they have, inaccurately, referred to it as a ‘bar chart’ when clearly they are asking for a bar graph. But because it is General Studies we must forgive them. Also could you please note the incorrectly placed labeling of the sources as a foot note as opposed to the correct… I don’t remember how they should have correctly done it because I was too busy dying a little inside to listen.
Once we’d all stared at him with contempt, and finally picked up pen or pencil and sullenly scribbled something that might look vaguely bar graph like. He asked us to examine said graphs and tell him Why there might be less Vans on the road
Sam: Better mail.
Teacher …sorry?
Sam:*Vague and slightly insane smile* Yup…
He quickly changed the subject when he realised we were all laughing so hard Gemma was actually crying.

Of course Luke had to push his luck and shout something about someone sucking cock. Or something of equal intellect and interest. We then got a talking to
All off you SHUT UP and ask yourself 3 questions - where are you!? Who are you? And why are you doing this
So I did so in my head - 1) room SF12 2) Kat 3) I am forced too by the school because they get paid a lot of money.
I then realised he was telling us the answers and also threatening us with having our sign-out privileges in year 13 removed. Silly man! Just because my form might have decided not to do the most recent general studies exam because we might have not have a teacher and so actually couldn’t be bothered and apparently have given ourselves a reputation as being the worst form to have for general studies. That doesn’t mean he can go and get all…‘Luigi’ on us.
(He just so happens to look like a certain Nintendo games character, but I cant say which - the school might kick me out of sixth form. Ridiculous I know but last year a boy nearly did because he just wrote teachers REAL names on his blog.)

And some teachers wonder why every students hates general studies with a fiery passion.
Lotsa Love
